    I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou

    Home-schooled... you have no idea how often I get that.

    We'll only be in WDW for 2 days... then 3 weeks on the beach.

    According to rotoworld.com, the D-Backs are listening to offers for Justin Upton.

    Wow! You'd think you'd want to build a team around your young talent.. Reds have SP & Infield Depth.

    Travis Wood, Todd Frazier, and Yonder Alonzo?

    They would probably insist on Stubbs, in addition to that package.

    I'd still do that deal.

    I loved HS. LOVED IT... couldn't wait to not hang out at my house, unless of course my folks were out of town, that's when I got my "Home schooling" done.

    Going forward, I don't see that big of a difference between Stubbs and Upton. There's a difference, just not a Wood, Frazier and Alonso difference, especially when you factor in contracts and length of team control.

    I wouldn't do the deal without getting a crack at offering Upton an LTC first. But Upton is distinctly better now, and has an off-the-charts, Griffey-esque upside.

    Upton is nearly three years younger than Stubbs, and has put up better numbers than Stubbs at a younger age at all levels of play.

    Stubbs had a .765 OPS in the minors, compared to Upton's .854 OPS.

    Per Cot's

    Justin Upton
    6 years/$51.25M (2010-15)
    signed extension with Arizona 3/3/10
    $1.25M signing bonus
    10:$0.5M, 11:$4.25M, 12:$6.75M, 13:$9.75M, 14:$14.25M, 15:$14.5M
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
