I’m not sure if B.J. Upton is going to get an extension from the Rays. I think Felipe Lopez will get a starting job. Not a utility infielder for the Yanks although I would love to see Felipe in pinstripes.

The Gutierrez and Grady Sizemore contracts are similar, and both compare well to Upton, so I can see the sides working out a deal. Then again, delaying the first year(s) of free agency might cost Upton as much in missed salary opportunity as the contract would be worth. Leaving 20-30MM on the table must be hard, but the 20MM+ guaranteed does a lot to soften to blow.

B.J Upton is a headcase who had one of the worst seasons of all-time last year.. him and Alex Rios need to go to therapy together.

Upton wasn’t even the worst CF last year. So that is really extreme.

The Indians better hope Valbuena is the real deal or else that trade giving up Gutierrez will look pretty bad. Can you imagine an outfield of Gutiereez/Sizemore/Choo?
