Potential busts

Superstars right? Guys that should go without thought? Not so fast. These guys were all first round picks at one point or another, but now, have fallen from grace. Make your picks wisely.

1. OF Adam Dunn

Dunn looks like an attractive pick from his power numbers, but if you are in a league that values average or on-base percentage, stay away. Dunn is just about a lock to knock 40 out every year, but his RBIs are significantly lower than the five other players to hit 40 or more last season. He hits a majority of solo shots and is very streaky. At any time, his average could fall 30 points.

2. OF Jason Bay

Bay’s production has declined for two straight years right now, which would be alright if he wasn’t 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. The upcoming season seems to be unpredictable for Bay, but being the centerpiece of a lineup that boasts no protection for him doesn’t bode well.

3. SS Miguel Tejada

Tejada is very far removed from his MVP year in Oakland. His production dropped form a third straight year last season and his legal troubles could transfer to the field. Despite him being in Houston on the former “Home-Run Field,” his power numbers have suffered the last four seasons, meaning that maybe even the bandbox park can’t help him.

4. OF Andruw Jones

I don't know what L.A. was thinking when they signed him, but Jones is about to make them regret it. His numbers have declined at an alarming rate over the last three years, and I'm not just talk about his ugly average. His power numbers have wained since 2005, and without power, all he has to offer are his fielding skills. And I don't think that there are fantasy points for Web Gems. If you can't get it done in laid-back Atlanta, then you can't do it anywhere. Keep away. Keep far, far away.
