BJ Upton's September

[nsacpi]

He's been carrying the team so far this month.

1.229 OPS

Tremendous display of grit maturity leadership and clutchness in the most important month of the season.

 

[Hulavol]

I was at the game yesterday, and he had that look/swagger that said "I got this...."

 

[gilesfan]

Shall we extent him?

 

[nsacpi]

We should either extent him or trade him while his value is peaking. One or the other.

 

[Garmel]

He hasn't struck out in the last three games either. Could his new contacts be making a difference? Hard to say.

Only if someone is spraying them with HGH.

Yep. I'm looking for some kind of a miracle to happen with BJ. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to happen.

 

[gilesfan]

I was waiting for the BJ Upton is back thread. Seems to pop up every month when he actually gets a hit or 2.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

I just hope he doesn't play well enough to convince Frank he's our CF'er in 2015.

Except nobody has said that. At least not on this thread.

 

[nsacpi]

All I said was he is carrying the team in September and showing enormous amounts of grit maturity leadership and clutchness.

 

[DirkPiggler]

B.J. should give PEDs a try. Seriously.

Either he gets away with it and ascends to at the very least a level less terrible than he is today, or he gets caught and the Braves have an out to void his contract. Win/Win.

to what extent we should EXTEND an Upton is questionable at this point

you don't seem to understant

For conversation sake, say he does have a very productive September then carry the team into and deep into the playoffs. Alas the new contacts give Braves the BJ that produced for the Rays.
It is not impossible - stranger things have happened (Carl Crawford)

How should they approach CF in the off season?

Let's not start giving each other BJs just yet...

You go first.

Let's not. There's a better chance of Kate Upton coming into my office right now and straddling me backwards.

Then I would try to replicate those magic contact lenses and give them to every hitter.

Was there a report that he actually had a change in his contacts? I have always thought that one was one of his problems.
