Nice to see one of the Upton brothers living up to their potential.

I like Longoria for this one, but Upton will be fun to watch. I think Adam Jones is up there too, especially if the O's can explode like they'reforecasted to do in the coming years.

He may be, but who really knows? Based on the article, I can already tell I'm not going to like him.

You see that non wood bat?...i think its..ALUMINUM

put a wood bat in the kids hand

 

[recognizaz]

I think someone put a pic of Strasburg...HE WILL GET CHEWWWWED UP IN THE MAJORS.

second or third time around these major leaguers will put wood on that fastball, his only real pitch

 

[juan baller]

The problem with Justin Upton he swings and misses a lot. There's no denying his prodigious power, but without a better contact rate, there's no way hecan hit for a high average.

The reason he's hitting over .300 this year is that 39.8% of the balls he puts in play have fallen for hits. If you know anything about Sabermetrics,that's an unsustainable percentage... no way around it.

Only 8 players (Chris Davis, Jordan Schafer, Mark Reynolds, Carlos Pena, Ryan Howard, etc...) have swung and missed more often than Justin Upton. Those guysare batting a combined .234 this season.

Nobody hits the ball farther than Justin Upton... but if he wants to be superstar, he has to get better at simply hitting the ball.

Translation: I don't know what I'm talking about.

His fastball is his only real pitch?

The fastball ranks an 80 on the scouting scale... The curve is plus to plus-plus, depending on who you listen to... And the change is above-average...

Adam Jones anyone?...thanks to my hometown team, the seattle mariners, for knowing when to get rid of talent! a five-tool player, the guy is on the verge ofbecoming a superstar. i was one of the few mariner fans who didn't want anything to do with the trade for bedard.

 

[ny41101]

Adam Jones is up and coming young player.

I was going to throw this name out there. I am still quite upset with that trade, and since that day have denounced my mariner fandom. I stillfollow the team and wish them well, but I will not be a true fan again until that front office gets turned around and becomes set on winning and not the bottomline. Another step towards me disliking the franchise was the extension to Kenji Jojima just because he is an asian player and the team is asian owen andpopular in Japan... Horrible decisions all the way around. The ony two players on the team I like are Branyan and...



The Next great thing to hit the mound...


King Felix Hernandez. He will be a beast in another season or two.

 

[651akathepaul]

^Felix should already be a beast. On some accounts he is, but he's too inconsistent.
