Around SBN: NFL Roundtable: Which Draft Pick Is Most Likely To Bust?

Over the Monster Top 20 Prospects Voting #7: Merry Christmas Mr. Anderson

Photo by Kelly O'Connor / www.sittingstill.net

It's not the best Christmas present, being dropped soundly from the #1 spot. But that's what happens when you have as bad a year as Lars did. Still, he's far from being done in this system, and all it will take is one good year to remind us what he was in '08.

Alright, then, moving on. Time to vote for #8. Writeups can be found here, but as usual, you are free to vote for any farmhand in the organization. If all goes according to plan, I should have a good few new names on that list by the end of the weekend.

Lars Anderson

A great example of holding onto prospects that won’t pan out.

Miguel Cabrera IS the solution to our problems.
Release Jason Varitek before ST is over !
Do not pay Jason Bay !!
Trade Buchholz !!!

Is a great example of why you take that risk.

Lars is a big, tough 1B

Totally different story. He did fail to live up to our expectations this year, but let’s be careful not to completely write off prospects with a bunch of great years and then one bad one.
