J-up isn’t already top ten?
Kirby
he’s very good and should be at some point but not now. braun, kemp, fielder, jose reyes, verlander, adrian gonzales, joey votto, kershaw, pujols, cano, bautista, and plenty more are better than him

2 complaints. First, there’s no way in hell there are “plenty more” players better than upton. Second, Braun, and Fielder might be better fantasy players but they are not better baseball players. They are both horrible defensively. Reyes is too brittle and not as well balanced to be considered in the others category

Ryan Braun’s 145 career OPS+ vs Upton’s 119 is a pretty gap to be closed by outfield defense.

“You cannot have a worse feeling in sports” yeah I’m willing to bet that there are worse feelings in sports. Like never making the Majors and not having $56 million, for instance
iheartyourfart
how much of that money do you think dunn would give back to be able to play the way he knows he’s capable of?
Dan Wohl
I have no idea, but my point is saying it’s “the worst feeling in sports” is pretty over the top.

None of it comes to mind.

A lot of the comments on Bob Nightengale’s article remind me of the people who go to baseball games and yell “Swing the bat! Why are you just standing there?!” and the like.

Olney’s comments are right on. We’re not going to see very many David Freese for Jim Edmonds type trades as long as veterans are available on the free agent market.

Break out the tiny violins for Adam Dunn.
If Dunn were THAT upset about things then he would give up his salary for this year (since he got paid for basically doing nothing last year). Then, he would work on swinging at pitches over the outer third of the plate and hitting the ball to the opposite field (something he has NOT done since 2003).
After watching Dunn since he came up in 2001, I doubt he does either thing.

if it’s such a terrible feeling to be overpaid and suck why not give the money back.
