Lots of big time busts there, like Manuel and Watkins.
There were a few decent mid-level players taken during those years, like Kiko, Badham, Wood, Moats, and some that had success elsewhere, like Goodwin, and Gilmore, unfortunately, they were coached by idiots like Ryan, Gailey, and Jauron.
At least Beane and McDermott seem to have a plan, even if half that plan is bringing in guys from Carolina.
When I think of the money I blew on those teams I kinda want to be sick.
