BJ is brothers is #20 on the list Justin Upton who plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks. BJ, who plays for the Tampa Bay Rays, is one of the most dynamic players in the MLB. He came off a major shoulder injury from 2008 with an amazing showing in the '08 playoffs in which he helped lead the rays to there first World Series appearance.
