Perhaps the change of scenery and the chance to play with brother B.J. will help Upton reach the level of performance he was predicted to achieve before he even donned a major league uniform.","date":"Sat May 18"},"fullName":"Justin Upton","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"At the dawn of his age-25 season, Upton has 108 home runs and 80 stolen bases on his career résumé & yet inexplicably he is regarded somewhat a disappointment. \"So-so\" seasons in 2010 and 2012 are the reason. As a 24-year-old last season, he struggled to meet lofty fantasy expectations, perhaps in part due to a thumb injury that plagued him most early in the year. But before you write him off as having reached his peak, consider the following: One, he's still at a stage of a career when more should be expected, being that he's only the seventh player in history to have amassed at least 100 homers and 80 steals through his age-24 campaign, showing how truly impressive his career has been thus far. Two, he's finally freed of the trade rumors that dogged him for months in Arizona, ones that might have had an adverse impact upon his play. And three, Upton did seem to pick up the pace late last year, which bodes well for carrying into 2013; he had .285/.338/.471 rates and a surprisingly low (for him) 16.2 percent strikeout rate the final third of the season. Is this the year he finally realizes his long-predicted MVP potential? Paired with his brother, B.J., in the Braves' outfield, it's possible. Since he shouldn't cost as much as he did a year ago, it's a chance well worth taking.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.7,"playerRater15DAY":3.3,"positionRank":4}
