Was looking around on youtube and came across this video that someone posted of Upton's last few High school AB's. Here is the link...

He cranks one out at about 2:10, aside from that nothing else real eventful but I was just impressed at how he never swung at the first or second pitch showing excellent patience at the plate even at a time when most guys are just swinging to impress the scouts, but Upton had the talent to do both.
We have already seen it in the majors but I just wanted to show he even showed it in High school. I cannot wait to see Upton at his peak.

He'll be gone when he is at his peak
The D Backs forfeited his age 26 season by calling him up too soon.
They will have had him through ages 20-25, and thats it. The BEST of Justin Upton will be on some other (Big Market) team. There is no way he will sign a long term arbitration buyout deal with AZ where he gives up a year or two of free agency in the process. His family is counseling BJ against doing that….and I’m sure they’ll do the same with Justin. And since he got such a big signing bonus, and his family is pretty well set, the D Backs don’t have the leverage here. He doesn’t really “need” to insure his or his family’s future by taking a Chris Young/Troy Tulowitski type deal.
He will be a FA right as he reaches his peak heading into his age 26 season
