As we gear up for the 2025 season, the conversation around prospects is heating up, and with it comes the inevitable debate about who might be the next big bust. We've seen it time and again—players who are touted as future stars but ultimately fail to live up to the hype. This year, a few names are already raising eyebrows among dynasty managers, and it's time to dive into the discussion.
Take Mick Abel, for instance. Once a highly regarded first-round pick, his control issues have left him off the top 100 prospects list. Can he turn it around, or is he destined to be a cautionary tale for future draftees?
Then there's Ricky Tiedemann, whose electric arm has been overshadowed by a series of injuries. With Tommy John surgery now part of his history, can he reclaim his status as a potential ace, or is he more likely to end up as a reliever?
Spencer Jones is another intriguing case. With a strikeout rate that would make any manager cringe, can he harness his power potential and become a reliable contributor for the Yankees, or is he simply too risky to invest in?
And let’s not forget Tommy Troy, who has struggled to translate his college success into professional performance. With competition for playing time and injury concerns, is it time to write him off, or could he surprise us all?
What do you think? Are there any prospects you believe are on the verge of busting, or do you see potential where others see risk? Share your thoughts on these players and any others you think could fall into the bust category this season. Let's hear your bold predictions and insights!
