Is anyone worried about Justin Upton?

[AsUdUdE]

nope.... Justin hit his 2nd home run in as many days, and by mid season I bet he will be hitting 3rd for us....

 

[bankybruce]

lol this is justin upton not bj. give drew a chance. he has a nice swing and plays good defense. lol justin at ss.

UMMMM, Justin was drafted as a SS and converted to the OF because of Drew.

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.

You speak for me on this.

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.

Karl - This thread just might break the record for "fastest to become obsolete "

Upton up to 3 bombs through 5 games.

thanks for making thread upton is now on fire

thanks for making thread upton is now on fire

This shall be the theme of this year!

I pronounce it now... and let it be so.

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.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

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.

me too, I love Hudson, but I think it's a money thing. Unfortunately the dbacks are still paying a lot of players from the 90's. Some may know better than I do, I don't follow the dbacks that closely, I just watch the games, but one would suspect that if Hudson was in the plans long term he would be done already.

I couldn't agree more...

Of course it would help if said player has the same talent level as Upton.

Is anyone worried about Chris Snyder?

 

[Ryanwb]

I'm worried about the D'backs winning the next 5 World Series

 

[Black Jesus]

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.

 

[AzKarl]

Who's the next guy we want to improve?

Karl - This thread just might break the record for "fastest to become obsolete "

I'll just write about someone else and we can expect similar results.

Actually he was moved to the OF because Stephen plays SS. And I agree that he is going to be a stud.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Funniest thread ever.

 

[Nasser22]

It worked on Upton and the Dodgers series....lets not waste the magic. Save these threads for October

 

[Lefty]

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.

I wonder if you feel this way now?

 

[Ryanwb]

I am speechless about this kid. Is he eligible for the ROY this season or did he have too many AB's last year? He is going to make Tulowitzki look like a brown stain on the mattress before all is said and done

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Upton barely had too many at bats last season (140, the cutoff is 130) to be eligible, which is a shame.

Every one of those 111 losses in 2004 was worth it.

 

[Phxchris1989]

Upton has really gotten into some balls so far this year, reminds me of Chris Young last year when he hit Fridays (Byrnes hit Fridays too if I remember right) I'd like to know which one was further though, the one just now or Reynolds' Fatburger shot? I'd think todays.
