    How good will Justin Upton be?

    He just got called up to AA Mobile and in 18 games he is hitting .382 with 7hr 22RBI and a .853 SLG if he turns out to be no good he's on a good run right now

      I think he has the chance to be as good or better than his brother(B.J.). Now, granted B.J. is looking pretty solid for the Devil Rays though. I think Justin has more speed but maybe not quite as good verall right now BUT he's still young too. I see him possibly being a better average hitter & base-stealer but less power & usability(not a utlility player) than BJ. Thanks!

          The kid is going to be really really good. Will probably be Baseball America's top prospect next year. The kids the real deal, and will be a heck of alot better than his brother.

              Yeah I think he's going to be pretty solid as well. I'm going to go to the next homestand we have with a few baseballs hoping to get his autograph along with a few oters.

                  He's going to be better than his brother.

                  And as far as his "usability" he was a shortstop in high school, so he can play shortstop as well as CF.

                      I saw him play last year and he wasnt all that great, but he's really turned it on this year. This guys been scouted since he was 14 years old, so this really isnt a suprise, but it is good to see him doing well. I also agree that he'll be better than his brother. Man, the D-backs are gonna be awesome for years!

                          He was a shortstop for most of his HS career, but switched to 3B for a lot of his senior year, and began to learn CF, as well.
