nope.... Justin hit his 2nd home run in as many days, and by mid season I bet he will be hitting 3rd for us....
lol this is justin upton not bj. give drew a chance. he has a nice swing and plays good defense. lol justin at ss.
I like Drew a lot, Bonafacio will be playing second next season and Hudson will be gone.
People just need to relax with Upton, these guys are not going to peek immediately, I know the whole player devlopment thing is new to us Dback fans who have grown used to signing insta player at age 30, but the peak years for Upton will be 24-32, he has a lot of time before those years even arrive.

thanks for making thread upton is now on fire
I hope this isn't true and that the D'backs can find a way to resign Hudson. I'd much rather have him on a long term deal than Byrnes (yes I understand it wasn't really a direct choice between the two). Gold glove, switch hitting, .300 average 2nd baseman don't grow on trees after all.
I couldn't agree more...The thing that is apparent to me is that Upton has super star talent. He will go through some bumps, just keep in mind he is only 20. In 2 years he will be putting up God like numbers.
Anytime a D'back is struggling it is up to someone to make a "Is anyone worried about (insert name)" thread. Thus, the thinking being, the said player will break out of their funk.
Karl - This thread just might break the record for "fastest to become obsolete "
Upton up to 3 bombs through 5 games.
first of all, Upton was a HS SS. He was moved to OF in Single A after putting errors all over the field. And am I worried about him? hell no. he is gonna be an allstar within two years. i wouldnt doubt that he hits 35 HRs this year.
I know I know it's one game but I can't help but feel that he has been rushed and is in danger of suffering a severe loss of confidence in his ability to play in the bigs. He looks very overmatched at the plate swinging and missing at anything on the black and off speed. He hasn't seemed to get around on the heat Harang was throwing. I feel he'd benefit playing in AAA and I just feel the bonus money and the number one draft thing is speaking louder than what makes sense. I just feel like he'd benefit from time playing in AAA. Can you say Carlos Quentin??? Fire away.
