Default Re: ***Official 2007-2008 MLB Offseason Thread***

And you can add BJ Upton to your list. He stank in 2006 and had a big year this year, so he's an example of a guy who had one bad year, but kept improving and figured out how to hit at the MLB level.

I thought his little brother was over-rated after a 700 OPS at low A (age 18). But he put up 900s in A and AA at age 19, and that's an amazing progression in one year, even if he struggled offensively and defensively in the Majors in the second half of the year. Now I think he's a huge prospect, but if he doesn't improve next year I will start to wonder if he will fulfill all my expectations even though he'll still be 20.
