Wasn’t there a guy named Bubba Derby that was a 1st rounder not too long ago? That’s got to be the top baseball name. For some reason I think the Royals drafted him.
Bubba Starling? Dont know if it matters to you or not but Bubba isn’t his given name, just what he goes by, kind of like Coco Crisp.
Maybe bubba starling?
Bubba Derby is a minor leaguer the A’s sent to Milwaukee in the Khris Davis trade.
Drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 6th round of the 2015 MLB June Amateur Draft from San Diego State University (San Diego, CA).

Not only is the Bogaerts deal NOT a steal, but it looks like a real overpay to me. As for the idea that Bogaerts would have done much better in FA, exactly what team would have been looking for a SS to the tune of more than 20MM/yr for more than 6 years? It is an absurd idea.
Uh, Padres just signed a SS/3B for $30MM/yr for 10 years. So, yeah, going rate for elite young talent.
