    Default IS ANYONE buying BJ Upton at this year's price?

    He's going so late in drafts. One year removed from almost 30/30. Anyone buying? He was really bad last year but you can't really go wrong at that draft price. I remember drafting Adam Dunn in three leagues in the last round after he had his terrible year, and he came back to have another 40 HR season.

    man, Upton was so dreadful last year. If you can get him cheap in the last round, why not take a gamble? I would. Good luck!

    I bought him, but after sitting through his disgusting excuse for a year last year, he will have a short leash. There's definitely upside there for a late round steal. If it gets to the point where it's all gambles, take a flyer. I wouldn't invest a lot in him though at all.

    I agree here. It's not like he all of a sudden forgot how to play the game. He just had a real bad year last year.

    Snapped him up late too. But have since dropped him in my Head to Head league as he's not getting any starts and i'm taking a flyer on the kid in Colorado.
