April 13, 200818 yr Suppose you were starting a brand new team from scratch and you had to choose between one of the Upton boys, B.J. or Justin. Which would you choose, and why? B.J. Upton- Outfielder- Tampa Bay Rays-23 years old Breakout season in 2007. .300 AVG/.386 OBP/ .508 SLG. 24 Homers, 22 Steals Justin Upton-Outfielder- Arizona Diamondbacks- 20 years old Off to a red hot start this year. .368 AVG/.419 OBP/.711 SLG through 10 games
April 13, 200818 yr Justin has more power and is the overall more talented player, but B.J. plays the more important defensive position and has better plate discipline. It's close, but I'd probably take Justin.
