Justin Upton finishes tied for 25th in the N.L. MVP voting
22-year old righty swinging RF Justin Upton finished in a tie with Ryan Zimmerman and Huston Street for 25th in the N.L. MVP voting. He played in 138 games for the D-Backs last season and he was 158 for 526 (.300 avg, .899 OPS) with 84 runs scored, 26 homers, 86 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. He has now played in 289 games in his three years with the Diamondbacks and he is 278 for 1,022 (.272 avg, .836 OPS) with 153 runs scored, 43 homers, 139 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. Upton along with Reynolds gives the D-Backs hope for the future. It would be interesting to be a Fly on the Wall at Christmas time at the Upton’s house as Justin might be telling his bro B.J. that he is better than him and it would be hard to argue that point.
