BJ Upton

[El Gaupo]

Will he be in the starting line up in 2006? Will Lugo have to be traded for him to have a chance or a move to 3rd?

????? who knows,,, personally i hope he is in the starting lineup, but there really is no indication either way right now... a buddy of mine that works for the durham bulls has no clue either way right now as well

It's Tampa but who knows. Maybe the new manager will bring their major league team up from their farm system.

Sounds like he will be starting the season in AAA from from what I have heard.

from whom if you dont mind me asking????

[bronxxbomber]

I haven't heard a thing about him starting in the majors next season. I wonder if that changes with a monster spring .

[stumpak]

I read this somewhere right after the season ended, I frankly don't remember where but maybe on this board. The issue was, as usual, defense. The caveat here is that the new ownership and management team may now have a very different view.

Yeah you can basically throw any end of the year comments out the door with new management in place now...at basically all levels too.

Yeah, it's been said here, but management is new at all levels. Upton may finally get the chance he deserves, as well as Delmon Young. I am already planning to draft Delmon this year. It may just be the best investment in my keeper league.

They could be really interesting if they bring up Delmon and Upton. Now all they need is some more pitching to go along with those bats....
