With Uptons you never know what you will get, both are talented players but neither has seemed to put it together for a full season.


You don't think Jupton's 2011 was putting it together?

BJ, I can see. I suspect he'll be mostly the same player he was his last few years in TB, which is still good.

I am hoping that BJ sees a bit of an uptick with the change of scenery. I don't think he was well liked in Tampa nor did he like his teammates.

That was as close as he has come, but no I don't think that is the best he has to offer. That season he did bulk of the damage at home (yes I know the thing you posted on home/road splits) but a .300 OPS difference is a large gap difference. He only hit 11 home runs on the road that season and 20 at home despite having 10 more AB on road and his avg ad almost a 100 point difference home and away.

Honestly I don't see any reason he couldn't have a 35/25 season with a .300 avg and .360 OBP and a Top 3 MVP season with his talent
