J. Upton's perceived value is ridiculously inflated. The guy has had 1 quality season...1!
He has yet to:
hit 30 HR
drive in 100rbi
score 100r
steal more than 20 bases
Yet everyone is drafting him top 12 players overall. I won't own Upton this year because I wouldn't touch him before the 3rd or 4th round -- way too much risk he goes back to becoming the .250 20HR guy that is stinking up your OF (A. Soriano anyone?).-

You're soo right. 1st draft pick overall. 21 years old, 138 games played last year, 26 homers, 20 sbs, 88 rbis, 86 runs and a .300 avg at 21! You're so right.

BJ posted almost identical numbers in 129 games in 2007 (look it up).
BJ won't go before 4th round this year and has been largely awful since his solid 2007 season.

Yeah, he had 1 quality season - in his first full season at the age of 21. He stole 20 bases last year BTW. It's probably a HUGE stretch that an incredibly talented 21 year old could possibly hit 4 more HR, have 14 more RBI and score 14 more Runs in his nect season. Clearly that's way out of the realm of possibility.
EPIC FAIL.- View Replies

Please see BJ Upton 2007 post above.
My point is he way too risky in the first round which is where he is being drafted.

Taken from Draft Central -
Justin Upton
(Ari - OF) Player notes
20.2 2.1 100%
Avg Pick #20... in a 12 teamer means he's near the end of the 2nd round. And you assume this is a little inflated because of the keeper/dynasty leagues where he should be going ahead of a lot of players because of his talent/age....
Get your facts str8 sir... before running your mouth about stuff you dont even take time to research...- View Replies

From the responses on here it appears many of you are related to Upton by blood or have taken him as your lover.
There are much safer and better picks in the 1st and/or 2nd round than Upton -- it's that simple. I would rather have: Kinsler, Tulo, Holliday, Wright, Miggie, Adrian Gonzo ... you know players that have proved their worth year after year instead of a guy that will either blow up or crush your team.
I'll take Jay Bruce 8-10 rounds later.

J Upton will be that good, he has 5 tool ability and once he grows into it he'll be a first rounder. Saying that, his ADP at the moment is way too high, yes.

I agree he's overhyped to a point. That point being this year. I don't really look for him to vault into the top 10 or 12 until next year or 2012. But he does have all the tools to become an elite, if not the elite OF.

The kid will be good, but he's not 2nd-3rd round worthy yet!
