Good minor league record? Where?

He has zero upside BTW

Where? In the minor leagues obviously, you dumb ass:

2005 - .300, 20 HR
2006 - .292, only 8 HR, but a 52:77 BB:K ratio (showing improvement of a young hitter)
2007 - .305, 13 HR (before call up, 6 more HR after call up)

Richar has the tools to be a .280-.300 hitter with 20 HR pop. He won't K as much as Uribe, he'll draw more walks than Uribe, get more hits than Uribe, and hit the same number of HR. Now please tell me again that Richar has no upside as a replacement for that free swinging hack.
