What are some of the worst picks you've made over you're fantasy baseball career?

As for me, I tend to draft Ryan Braun every year in the first round so although he did have a disappointing year, I would hardly call him a dud...

I suppose my worst selection came in the 2009 MLB Fan Boards Draft when I drafted Brandon Webb with the fourth overall pick. He was coming off a Cy Young year, and in years before I would load up on offense on draft day and leave the pitchers to fend for themselves. I choose a different route and Webb got injured on Opening Day for the rest of the season...

Last year. How about this for a lousy start to a draft: http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-toilet10.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

Joe Mauer (1st round)
Jacoby Ellsbury (2nd round)
Jimmy Rollins (3rd round)
Zack Greinke (4th round)
Adam Lind (5th round).

It's an absolute wonder that I finished 6th (out of 12) in this league.

I was lucky to not get any duds last year for the most part. Although Billingsley in the fourth round hurt me just a bit. I made up for that, though by snatching Cano in the fifth round.

I only made it to the semi-finals but I ended up with the most points in my league. I should give a big thanks to Chipper Jones getting injured on and off all the time, because it lead me to pick up Jose Bautista...and the rest is history (54 homers)

*Cough* Andre Iguodala *Cough* Oh wait, wrong sport. Still funny though :p

From what I remember my biggest bust last year was Rollins. Previous years I honestly can't remember.
