I'd do it. Upton is elite talent, and you'll be hard pressed to find another up and coming player with as much tools as this guy has. Jiminez has always had the talent and peripherals, and it looks like he's finally putting things together this year. Obviously you know what you're losing in Bills, but Upton seals this deal.

Thanks for the input on my Rios/Snider for Holliday issue.

I would do it. Upton is a nice upgrade over ethier and Jimenez will be a stud.
