Upton becoming a star!

After a disappointing fantasy season with 9 homers, BJ Upton is lighting up the post season with 4 homers. BJ had a lot of injury issues with his shoulder during the season which limited his power. Now, he's looking like a top fllight fantasy player. Upton finished 2008 at .273/9/67 but did have 37 doubles. He struck out 134 times and walked 97 which isn't too bad. When you throw in 44 steals, his fantasy value goes up tremendously. He did get caught stealing 16 times. He's going to have to work on baserunning in the off-season. If his shoulder improves over the winter, watch out. He could be a top 15 fantasy player.
