Title: Congrat's BJ Upton
Post by: Sunstroke on October 02, 2009, 10:13:22 pm

Centerfielder of the Tampa Bay Rays becomes the first player in franchise history to hit for the cycle tonight against the Yankees. Game is still in the 7th, so he can still add on, but 4 for 4 so far, single, double, triple, dinger...

I once wrote an ode to BJ and Justin Upton's mom titled "Mrs Upton's 5-Tool Womb"...I may need to dig that one up.

Congrat's to BJ though...well done!

Scuttlebutt,Speculation,rumors that the Rays are looking to see if they can get something for him in the offseason....

I sure wouldn't mind having an Upton in Cubbie blue... :D(Not a chance in hell)

That puts a good spin on an otherwise disappointing season.  Congrats to B.J.!

Congrats on BJ for underachieving for the 2nd consecutive season.

I'd say.  If the Rays keep him around for another season and not trade him like I'm hearing, let's see how he does with a full season of being healthy.

When does he become a free agent? He has played 5 seasons, but only 3 full ones. It'd be interesting to see how much service time he accrued as to me he seems like the type of guy who goes nuts in his walk year and then just coasts after he gets his big contract.

Upton was part of a package Tampa had offered to Toronto for Halliday.  This good game aside for BJ, his season was a wash and pretty terrible overall.  His stock is pretty low right now.
