Which players/player seasons have you drafted in multiple leagues that always look good on paper, but never do well for you in the sim?

For me it's 1985 Tom Herr

Dick Radatz & '97-'98 Roger Clemens, both over multiple seasons, with mostly bad results.....'87 Clemens has been better than the 97 or 98 version for me

Had Duane Ward in a progressive.  Waste of a pick.  Every single year disappointed.  Ended up retiring with a career ERA of over 5.

'08 Addie Joss & '15 Pete Alexander... I've only used each 3-4 times (over 12 years here), but every time they've been a complete bust. OAV over .300, WHIP over 1.4 and I have shied away from them both despite seeing others continually have success with them.

Without a doubt, Barry Larkin for me.  I've used about a half dozen different seasons of him and only 1989 has paid dividends.

Brady Anderson, Barry Larkin.

Joe Morgan headed this list until the last time I used him, when he was finally a stud.

Chuck Knoblauch always performs well for me.
