You hit the nail on the head w/that, Jay. A particularly unattractive set as well. I think Chili Davis was another hot rookie that year.

I live in Jersey City where Willie Banks is still a legend. He had a bit more than a cup of coffee in the bigs having pitched parts of ten seasons or more and he wasn't the top pick in the draft (#2,3, or 4, I think) but yes, he did wash out big time. Then again, he was still pitching in the minors as recently as 2004 so maybe he can still make good on the Hall of Fame prediction
