B.J. Upton homered and tripled yesterday for Triple-A Durham.
He also stole a base after being hit by a pitch. Upton's average has remained steady for the last couple of months, but he is hitting for more power of late. Overall, he's at .296/.384/.471 with 34 steals in 41 attempts.
Is he really not ready to take another chance in Tampa? He has a good steal rate, he's almost at that pretty 300-400-500 line? They don't need him, that's for sure, but wouldn't having him up now to get some seasoning against MLB Pitching be good for him? Or is there something I'm missing?
