upton is getting much better under gibby
you keep upton 15 game hitting streak and counting
mark reynolds needs to go
they were thinking of it but decided not to a couple weeks ago
I am hoping gibby and get him to stop striking out
Heilman, qualls and chris are on the block
might have to throw in heilman to get rid of chris and his bad back and contract

joe sanders makes under 4 million
I think you keep him just to help the younger pitchers
parra hit in double plays last night not upton
We all know Parra sucks, Upton is supposed to be good. He's one of the forefathers of the "2010 Diamondback underachieving" coalition of young, talented players who are lazy and have made a commitment to underachieve as much as possible for the 2010 season. Fortunately Conor Jackson and Haren were also part of that coalition and they're gone. Reynolds, Webb, Upton, and Drew all need to be traded and they need to start from ground 0 with players who actually give a .
upton is 22
you have to have someone
he also played short stop before the mlb
he also has had 3 different coaches
he should have stayed at triple a for one more season before being called up though
gibby is the best thing to happen to him and the team
who would you trade upton for proscpects that you do not know if they will even have the success upton had last year?
Because last year is last year. Upton had one year where he showed us how good he can be and then he decided to be a lazy this year. I don't care who they trade him for. He, Webb, Reynolds and Drew all need to get traded for being lazy sacks of who don't give a .
As much as I don't disagree with Josh Byrnes being fired, I don't blame him for being unable to know the core of this roster would get lazy beyond belief after making the NLCS in 2007 and just stop caring.
reynolds and upton are putting extra work in
I do not get how people think upton is lazy.
gibby has said mark has spent more time in work this year then anyone other year
also gibby has said upton cares more then people think
the problem with upton in the past was he tries to hit a homerun instead of a hit or he is to hard on himself when he fails
I watch most dbacks games
before their allstar break had their bullpen been average they would have been 3 games out of first place in their division
the team needs to improve and drew is a great short stop 4 errors only this year but his bat needs to get going
he HIRED HINCH and he would not even talk to his bench coach
gibby has said he had ideas but he did not want to cause problems
he wanted to be asked
Of course the local media is releasing fluff articles about how hard they are working, even though it's blatantly obvious Mark Reynolds doesn't give a every time he walks back to the dugout with a passive look on his face after a strikeout.
Well lets see, the amount of weight he's put on is generally a sign of laziness, his complacency after a breakout year is a sign of laziness, and similar to Reynolds, the passive look on his face after he s something up is a sign of not giving a .
huh?
That's cute that a manager is willing to cover up an obvious problem.
One thing Upton is certainly not is hard on himself. He's played like all year and there has never been an ounce of frustration on his face, he seems more than content going through the motions collecting a paycheck.
His bat isn't gonna get going if it hasn't yet. Both Upton and Drew have older siblings in the MLB who are notorious for being extremely talented but lazy as , apparently they got the same lazy gene J.D. and B.J. did.
he has thrown bat in the dugout
he has stayed on the dugout after the game and was the last one to leave
he has a 15 game hitting streak going right now
dude I do not even listen to the local media
I live in yuma not phoenix
I watch the game
j-up is only 22
he could get his average up to .300 again his year
it is .280 right now
but why agrue with someone pink
oh the haren trade is only good if they spend the money to improve
He hit .300 last year and had a 20/20 season. It's great that he's finally showing up to play this year, but you don't have that good of a breakout season one year and then bat below 250 for the 1st half of the season this year.
Unless you watch it on mute like I do, watching the game implies you listen to the Darren Sutton and Mark Grace homerism on a daily basis. When kelly johnson hit for the cycle the other day and then Upton grounded into a double play the next at bat ruining any chance to tie the game up, Grace and Sutton wouldn't shut up about Johnson's cycle and they ignored the fact Upton just effectively lost the game with a lazy at bat.
so if you hit the ball hard and get out it is lazy?
had the ball been one way or the other a few it it would have been a hit
you can hit the ball hard but sometimes you will have bad luck and hit it where someone is
that does not make you lazy
atleast upton made contact and not strike out there
also their are only 4 cycles in the team history
yes the announcers will dwell on it for a few minutes
so upton lost the game at one at bat
but the pitchers had nothing to do with it?
and the other players?
upton is not perfect but for 500k he is during ok this season
his extension kicks in next year
I think he will have 30 homeruns 90-100 rbi's next year
hit 300 to 320 next year
What a great day so far for got Reynolds, 0-3 3 strikeouts.
