Upton was the prospecting poster child (literally!) almost a decade ago and helped drive sales of the new, 2004 Aflac set - which was heavily 'hyped' by some almost as much as Upton himself was. He's interesting in that his hobby popularity among some circles may be greater than his general baseball popularity.
Years from now, hobbyists will wonder why people continued to pay so much for his cards even when it was obvious he would never make the HOF.

Demoted? He would do better flipping burgers.Now he can laugh alllll the way to the bank. Braves front office are bufones for that contract. I said that 2 months ago and a lot of you here chastised me for it. This will come down as the worse signing in all of sports history.

P.S. His brother is over hyped.

Wow, exaggerate much?
There are probably hundreds of sports signings that are worse than B.J. Upton, who's only played two months into his five-year contract.
Just Google worse sports signings, and you'll find dozens of websites listing signings much worse than Upton.

Yeah he has always been hyped...sure he's a fantastic player, but no one has yet to see that 5 tool player that can carry a team. He has the potential but has definitely not fully lived up to the hype. (Wait for it)

........yet.
Struggling is an understatement...with the numbers he has put up with that contract they gave him, unacceptable. I believe he needs to be demoted for a while in order to get his head straight.

Would you be saying the same thing if Derek Jeter had the same stats through two months?

Are you comparing BJ Upton to Derek Jeter?
Jeter never had a month span in which he K'd in half his ABs!

If Jeter had as bad of stats as Upton, then it's probably because he's playing with one arm and no feet. In that case, I'd put him on the DL.

Well, my fraternity brother claims to have just caught BJ's home run...pictures posted, but I don't know if he's pulling my leg or not.

Well, it was legitimate, he actually caught BJ's HR ball. Hopefully these last two days are a sign of good things to come.

somebody needs to catch his balls and make him "Man up" *not volunteering for that one! (thank you, thank you, I will be here all week, tip your servers and bartenders)

He is still arrogant.. have you seen it when he is struck out? He throws his helmet, and XXXXXes to the umpire about a bad call.. ALWAYS.. he never strikes out and says "yup.. good pitch" He is arrogant, was at Charleston and Montgomery..
