BayBears Star Promoted To Arizona

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Arizona's top prospect, outfielder Justin
Upton, got his first big league callup today after the first-place
Diamondbacks put Carlos Quentin on the disabled list with a
strained hamstring.
Upton, the number one pick overall in the June 2005 draft, was
promoted from Double-A Mobile. He arrived at Petco Park in time for
Arizona's series finale against the San Diego Padres, but he wasn't
in the starting lineup.
Upton's brother, B.J., was drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays
with the second overall pick in the 2002 draft, making them the
only brother combination to be selected as the number 1 and number
2 choices in different drafts.
Upton was batting .310 with Mobile, fifth in the Southern
League, with 13 homers, 53 RBIs and 10 stolen bases.
