Hey guys, sort of an off topic question here. Who would you consider a bigger draft bust? Matt Bush or Brien Taylor? Bush should have never been a 1st rounder, Taylor, who I met when he played for the Albany Colonie Yankees, was so over hyped before his injury, it was sickening.

I would say Brien Taylor only because the hype was so much bigger on him. I think Bush was only selected because he was a hometown kid that the Padres knew they could sign him quickly.

Brein Taylor was far and away a bigger bust. There was a 60 Minutes interview with him around the time of the draft and they were comparing him to Nolan Ryan.

Brien Taylor was the biggest bust in my option in any sport.

I vote for Taylor since I haven't heard of the other guy.

After baseball

After retiring, Taylor moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and worked as a UPS package handler and later a beer distributor. He is the father of five daughters. By 2006, he had moved back home and was working as a bricklayer with his father. Taylor still lives with his parents, at the end of a street named after him, in a two-story brick and frame house that he built using his signing bonus.[1]

In January 2005, police charged Taylor with misdemeanor child abuse for allegedly leaving four of his children (ages from 2 to 11) alone for more than eight hours. He didn't show up for his court date, and at one point there were four outstanding warrants for his arrest.[1] According to financial records filed in a child support application, he makes $909 per month.[1]

In March 2012, Taylor was charged with cocaine trafficking after undercover narcotics agents purchased a large quantity of cocaine and crack cocaine from him over a period of several months
