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.
In some respects BJ comes off as Uggla as a hitter, he has produced good power numbers with a low average, a lot of strike outs, and low OBP (Uggla actually gets on base a higher clip than Upton throughout their careers but Upton has ability to steal bases and is better defensively)
If Justin comes back and plays closer to his MVP season plus Freeman/Heyward continue to improve they may offset the holes that are in the lineup.

I think we will at least make the Wildcard with our line up. Maybe even win the East if the Uptons play up to their potential. If they don't I still see our defense and our pitching carrying us to a wild card

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.

But hopefully Hudson can stay healthy, Minor will pitch like he did in the second half, Medlen can come close to what he did last year, and Teheran can be better than Hanson...which would not be difficult.
Plus we're adding Walden to the bullpen with Kimbrel, EOF, and hopefully a vintage Venters
