Upton Update

[Eddiey]

BJ has played 8 games so far at Durham and already has 5 errors. He had best
change positions or put down roots in Durham!!!!

His brother has asked to be changed into a center fielder, if BJ would stop being so stubborn he would already be in the major leagues.He is hurting himself and the team.

After 10 games he now has 6 errors. Amazing, simply amazing. :crazy

I bet upton would make a pretty good outfielder with his speed and cannon of an arm. Will never happen, but i bet he wouldn't be half bad as an outfielder. At least he would be better than manny.

He probably would make a good outfielder, but thats one area the Rays are strong in.Third base would be a real good fit. Third base is reaction and instinct, and that is Uptons strength. He make his errors on routine plays. He has the bat to play third.

Agreed!

It would be good for him and the team if he were receptive to change..

Through 16 games, batting .302 with 1 HR, but EIGHT errors :grouchy

Travis Lee might save a few of those at the big league level, but if Upton wants to get here sooner, he should do what his younger brother Justin did, and agree to move to another position if that's what the team needs. He probably would be up here already if he wasn't so damn insistent about playing SS. He's like Alfonso Soriano without the street cred :mad:

The Rays tried sending him a message, Lugo and Ordaz go on the DL, do they bring up upton, no. Instead they pick up Perez, BJ, are you listening?
