I just saw BJ Upton make his 12th error of the season...in only a month against the Jays, it was a routine ground ball to third, he had all the time in the world but rushed and threw it high above the head of the first baseman.

It's enough now, waiting for him to come along.

The only way he can salvage his MLB career is to play DH which he shouldn't because he has too terrific of an arm, or, try playing the OF, preferably CF where he'd have better chances to make longer and stronger throws.

He made 54 errors at short and 3rd this season in AAA in 139 games!

Upton is the poster boy for new stat analysis...he will do evereything right for his fantasy owners but very little to actually win games

He was scouted because of his speed and bat

--Scouts have looked for kids who could hit and run since the first one hit the road in his buggy. Nothing new in that. Upton still has time to develop, although he is looking more like an outfielder than an infielder. Or maybe he'll be Shawn Dunston, another guy with all the tools who never really learned how to use them.
