Kerry Wood nearly brought the Cubs to a world series. Sure his career didn't reach it's full potential, but he had a good run while healthy. I wouldn't label him a bust.
Dice K doesn't really fit in with the normal prospects. That was a free agent signing really.
Grieve I suppose could be, but he a decent 5 year run and won the rookie of the year.
I thought Ankiel's 2007-2009 was better than it actually is, I will concede that.
Hughes isn't a bust, he is still a part of the rotation and Nick Johnson didn't live up to the hype, but every prospect that doesn't become a star isn't a bust.
Stephen Drew's 2006-2011 is hardly bust worthy. He had a WAR above 1.5 5/6 seasons.
