BJ Upton Done In Tampa?

BJ was benched last night a day after he and Evan Longoria's had a spat in the locker room.

The Rays need to get rid of BJ Upton, who sucks, and is the most overrated player in baseball. He often doesn't hustle, he doesn't hit for power or average, and if he's causing issues in the locker room with your best player, you gotta show him the door.

The Rays could still get a lot from a team who could still see him as a "5 tool payer" so they should do this as quick as possible.

Also I hope he is traded to the NL to fuck over Ash (Fantasy league shit), and Carmona.

Top 25 Under 25: #8 Evan Longoria

One of the new phenoms of Major League Baseball is the star thirdbaseman for the Tampa Bay Rays Evan Longoria. 24 year old Longoria born 10/07/1985 burst onto the scene in 2008 winning the Rookie of Year Award. In 122 games he hit .272 with 27 HRs and 85 RBIs; not to mention a .963 fielding % at the hot corner. Longoria was certainly a major reason why the Tampa Bay Rays were the AL East, and AL League Champs in 2008; and this was all after coming off a mid-season broken wrist. Now in his second season, Longoria has not slowed down one bit. Apart from a few minor injuries, Longoria is being hailed as one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball. In 126 games thus far, Longoria is matching his statistics from last season posting a .272 BA 25 HR 91 RBIs and 57 walks. Although Longoria had a .189 BA in July '09 he remains the top threat in a potent Rays lineup that includes Carlos Pena, BJ Upton and Carl Crawford. For a 24 year old player to be ranked the #3 best thirdbaseman in the league in just his second season speaks volumes to his ability and his future. Look for Longoria to post these and better numbers year in and year out; no doubt. If your a baseball fan, its hard not to love this guy...and no I don't mean Eva Longoria...no relation. Fuck Tony Parker.
