BJ Upton – Get Your Act Together

BJ Upton (pictured 2008 Allen and Ginter Ripped baseball card) is killing my fantasy baseball team. He was benched last week for failing to run out a ground ball and after saying all the right things about the incident he pulled the same thing last night. Upton was pulled immediately and will sit today. The Rays are in the playoff hunt and if that’s not enough to motivate him to keep his head on straight then I have no illusions that screwing up my fantasy baseball season is of no concern – though it bugs me!

Upton was one of my 5 keepers headed into this season and as the defending champ I felt pretty good heading into the 2008 baseball season. This week marks the start of a 3 game set for our league’s first round and I’m having a horrendous week and BJ Upton’s antics are the cherry on top.

Although Upton’s power and average are down this year he’s on pace for almost 50 stolen bases. Upton turns a mere 24 later this month and already has over 1,200+ major league at bats under his belt. If he can put it all together and keep his head on straight I see BJ Upton as a perennial 30/40 guy – so from a fantasy baseball perspective I still say “buy” on Upton at your 2009 fantasy baseball draft.

T206 Cycles have been far and few between. Check out the Stoney McGlynn PSA 7!!! That's a real gem. Granted $1,250 more than I have to spend on a baseball card at the moment, but given the scarcity and the fact that it's in better shape than many cards right out of the pack it's an exceptional find.

Switch Pitcher – The Future of Baseball

Somehow I don’t think we’ll see Johan Santana throwing the change up from the right side or Brandon Webb develop a lefty power sinker. That said, I’ve long wondered why there aren’t ANY switch pitchers. I would think they’d only have to develop a fastball they can keep down and a looping curve.

Someone sent me this link of a switch pitcher in a minor league baseball game. The punch line here is that he’s going up against a switch hitter – place your bets.

Check out the video on YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrM5PITsn7Q

You can also click here to buy a pitching machine on eBay so you’ll never get caught off guard by a switch pitcher!
