I guess they are paying for the "Raw" talent because this guy has been an average ML player so far based on the expectations.
These ML contracts are just insane. |

B J Upton is an average MLB player--when he turns the switch on. But, it seems he's on cruise control most of the time. And can put up some of the most pathetic at bats possible. Good defender--but at that price??

I have a tough time considering Upton average due to his combination of power, speed and defensive abilities, but 15 million a year for a guy who just put up a .298 OBP is ridiculous. Hard to believe this guy drew 97 walks at age 23 and now has trouble reaching .300 OBP.

Elite defense at a key defensive position
Average power at an offensively deficient position Elite power/speed combo As long as he can play CF, he'd be worth it, probably. Contract looks a lot worse if they move him to a corner.

Interesting move. They are letting Bourn walk then?

With his speed he has never even scored 90 runs in a season. Glad he's out of the AL and equally glad we do not have him. |

Acquiring Upton basically serves as Bourn's one way ticket out of ATL. Bourn is rumored to want a multi-year deal at around $20M per. And I'll give you a guess who his agent is.
