Upton dogs it, but Rays get win
2008-08-19 09:12:00 B.J. Upton slipped away from Tropicana Field without speaking to reporters, leaving others to answer questions about another baserunning gaffe that overshadowed a big Tampa Bay victory. The first-place Rays beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4 Monday night, but the postgame buzz was more about Upton getting caught jogging on the bases again instead of the ...

Upton benched a second time for lack of hustle
2008-08-17 03:38:00 Tampa Bay Rays center fielder B.J.

Rays? Upton OK with benching
2008-08-08 05:36:00 Nothing can darken this wondrous season for the Tampa Bay Rays. Not even the very public disciplining of one of their young stars.

Upton leaves game with injury
2008-05-01 20:48:00 BY ADAM RONIS B.J. Upton left today's game against the Orioles with a left shoulder strain he hurt while swining the bat. Upton has a history of shoulder problems. This probably has to do more with one of my team's being cursed with injuries. Upton is on my team along with A-Rod, Ty Wiggington, Hank Blalock and Jonathan Broxton. Who's next?

B.J. Upton Injured?
2008-05-01 20:01:00 The Tampa Bay Rays haven't had time for the ational media to bask in their glorious April, and star centerfielder B.J. Upton is removed mid-at-bat after foluing a ball off his foot. I mention the foot because that is what appeared to happen. However, replays show him clutching his left wrist after the swing. It is the possibility of a wrist injury that prompts me to this over-reacting post. I haven't had visions in my head like this since I started cheeking my meds. Power-sapping, season-ending hamate bone surgery is all I can see right now. As more information comes available, I will update this post. Update [2008-5-1 14:10:18 by Eric Hz]: The St. Pete Times reports Upton looks like he hurt his shoulder. Without the benefit of the game being archived at MLB.tv, I can't reconcile that with what I saw. Update [2008-5-1 14:58:52 by Eric Hz]: Looks like BJ's left shoulder popped out. No hamate bone issues. Maybe I should stop cheeking my meds.

Upton In No Rush For New Deal
2008-04-19 11:41:00 Could the Rays have started a new trend by locking up Evan Longoria after just 24 major league plate appearances? Probably not, though we have seen teams locking up players earlier and earlier. The Rockies secured Troy Tulowitzki for the next six years, with a $15MM option for a seventh. And the D'Backs decided they want Chris Young around through at least 2013. The Diamondbacks have another player who stands to make some decent cash before he reaches free agency: Justin Upton. The youngest player in baseball is off to a scalding start after struggling in 152 plate appearances as a 19-year-old last year. He will be eligible for free agency after the 2013 season, and will enter the 2014 season at age 26. Upton hasn't been approached by the Diamondbacks about an extension, but he's not sweating it. "I want to get through my first season," Upton said. "I'm not going to rush into anything." Indeed, it might be in his best financial interest to let this play out. Or, at least, take ...

Al Upton and the MiniLegends -- Shut Down

The government shut down the program while it assesses the risk of kids posting work online. This is what we all fear... that someone can complain to someone on the other end of a phone in an office and all the work we do can disappear. Go read the conversation, lend your voice of support: http://alupton.edublogs.org/ And be sure to read the voices of the kids who feel the loss of a wonderful, innovative program.

He opened the year with the Devil Rays and got off to a torrid start. Despite a low contact rate that had every member of the baseball intelligensia predicting a crash back to Earth, the crash never really occurred. He finished the season with an impressive slash stat line of 302/389/508. With a 154 whiffs in 474 ABs, there is still contact concerns. How much will this effect his value in 2008?

Miss Teen USA Contestant Lauren Caitlin Upton Talks Geography
2007-08-30 02:09:00 Miss Teen USA contestant Lauren Caitlin Upton finally explains her incoherent response to a pageant question about geographic illiteracy. "Personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map," Upton said. "We don't know anyone else who doesn't, and if the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography and our education, so people will learn to read maps better." And on that point, Smith, author of the children's social-science book, If the World Were a Village, and Webmaster of Mapping.com, likely wouldn't disagree. When asked if the Upton incident might spur interest in geography, Smith said, "It would be lovely if it did." I'm impressed the girl knows where the United States is on a map. It's that brown thing in the middle of that blue stuff, right?
