In the 1990s, the Mets had 3 great pitching prospects that many people thought would be the 2nd coming of the Atlanta Braves studs (Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Avery):What the hell is Generation K?
Bill Pulsipher
Jason Isringhausen
Paul Wilson
Injuries basically ended Wilson's career before it ever really got started. He pitched a few years in his late 20s and early 30s.
Isringhausen wound up becoming a closer. Actually a pretty solid closer.
Pulsipher got hurt early and sucked.

remembered reading he even embarrassed Dr. J head-to-head in a playoff game outscoring him something like 42-7 (tons of great Marvin Barnes fukkery stories out there tbh, dude was beyond eccentric) but as soon as he got to the NBA the
side of him wore away at his talent pretty much completely. Cowens when he coached the Celtics around '79 said it was one of the most disappointing cuts he ever had to make because he knew Marvin was the most talented guy out there if he didn't ruin himself with drugs. He was able to live two lives for a while, but drugs wore him out eventually and he didn't get it together when he should've. Easily coulda been something good in the league.
