Sweet Justin Upton Fact:

[Casey2884]

Just happened to read this while perusing rotoworld and thought it was awesome:

Justin Upton (OF, Diamondbacks) – Baseball history has seen just 15 hitters post an OPS above .800 in 400-plus plate appearances at the age of 20. One of those 15 is Upton and the others are Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Jimmie Foxx, Frank Robinson, Ty Cobb, Ken Griffey Jr., Mel Ott, Al Kaline, Orlando Cepeda, Rogers Hornsby, Vada Pinson, and Tony Conigliaro. Enough said.

He sure manages to hide that statistic well.

That's pretty elite company on that list -- especially considering the low number of modern players.

I tend to disagree I think this kid is the real deal and once he gets it going his cards will climb

What was their peak? Around $120, maybe $150?

If he puts up power #'s and Arizona makes a strong push for the playoffs I don't think a $30-40 increase on current prices is out of the question.

Irrelevant. Upton was touted as the second coming. His hype is much greater than Braun's, as is his ceiling. Upton living up to the hype would send his chromes much higher than Braun's.
