OF'ers, who do you want outta these guys?

and you don't think with a full time gig and his history he won't have the green light?

You see it's the magnitude of the green light we're talking about here.
In 2007 he got a 23% SBO green light from Boston (pretty good) and he "only" stole 28 bases.

Also, his power has reached a cruddy level where he'll hit 10 HRs if you're lucky. More if he gets maximum (600) at-bats.

You'd have to find out (via managers/GMs comment) whether he's going to run like mad before you can increase his value.

'07s 6 HR/28 SB return is really not good enough to challenge the other 2.

Yeah i was just looking back at his career stats, he hit 15-16 hr's for two years with cleveland, then hit an average of 7 the next 3 years. He does keep a SB rate around 25 per year, but 7 HR's and 25 SB's is nothing really special.

The more I look at it its gotta be upton. The potential for him to cut down on the K% and breakout is worth the risk of him pulling another "growing year" and even if he does and has one or two good months, I plug him in then and ride the wave til it crashes.
