(Maybe there has been, but he's still awful, and my scouts deserve to be publicly shamed for this) http://brokenbat.org/player/241754 Just look at this scouting report: "He will always be wild. He may be limited to only a few innings. He may never get out of the minor leagues." Not to mention that he's 26 years old with a very low skill index, will never have decent control or stamina, and not much positive going for him apart from being "Fabulous" I had never seen a worse 1st round draft board actually. There wasn't even a single 11 potential player with upside. Or even a no-hit high range 10 potential. It was a bunch of 9 potential duds mostly IIRC.

EDIT: Oh, I missed the "with upside" part. I had quite a few boards like that under the old system. Updated Sunday, August 23 2020 @ 7:01:53 am PDT
