Just took a look at Justin Upton's stats and had a few thoughts:
1) Anything think Upton could be the next Adrian Beltre? Top prospect who started at a really young age, that was somewhat underwhelming for years and then put it together. Upton is just 30 but already has 1,488 hits and 260 home runs. 3,000 hits and 500 home runs is definitely not out of the realm of possibility. In 2017 he had his highest OPS, and hitting in a lineup with Trout, Ohtani, Pujols etc. means that he can slide under the radar
2) If Upton plays long enough to approach those numbers, he'll almost certainly set the K record. He already has 1,569 (Reggie holds the record at 2,597)
