Justin Upton is a underachiever at this point.No discipline at the plate.I think the Diamondbacks should trade him.I don't think he'll ever reach his full potential with that ball club.Dude flashes the talent to be a top 5 player in baseball at times, but he can't seem to put it together consistently.Other than his 2011 season, he's barely above average IMO

His stats at the same age are better than Bonds. :win:

But he has 2 years on Bonds.



Bonds didn't make his debut until he was 22.Upton was 20 when he made his.



So, up to this point, he has a 2 year head start on Young Barry with the stats.



At 25, J Up has been accumulating stats in the Majors for 5 years.


Bonds at 25 only had 3 years.


People can twist numbers like that.I don't think he'll be even half the player that Barry was

I knew that there had to be a catch to that statement, I just didn't feel like looking for it.
