Worst #1 pick by performance? Bush probably wins. Worst #1 pick based on opportunities missed? Chilcott still reigns.

Even Mr. October didn't do that. 2004 was indeed a weak draft, and it’s hard to say that someone’s career will surpass Reggie Jackson’s, but that draft did produce Dustin Pedroia, who won an MVP award at age 24 in his second full season.

I mean, come on, Chilcott #1 overall, Reggie Jackson going #2? It's going to take a hell of a lot for someone in the 2004 draft to top Reggie. And five years that draft doesn't look like it produced a player of that caliber.

Yes we could use a top of the line starter but come on know we have had closers to come in, well when we need them which is not often enough.

It's starters that they need. The Rangers have had plenty of good closers (Cordero & Wetteland to name a couple). It’s starters that they need.

But this is what can happen when someone that can't make good choices gets too much money. He can always use his "so-called" celebrity status to get boxing matches with Jose Canseco and Tonya Harding...except knobody will know who he is. Seriously though, the best thing for him to do is talk to Josh Hamilton, find God, and sign with the Rangers. They have been looking for a closer since, since forever.
