Justin Upton to make debut

They won the game but might have lost right fielder Carlos Quentin, who suffered an apparent leg injury while running out a double in the fourth inning. The only silver lining: A stint on the disabled list for Quentin likely would mean the arrival of baseball's most anticipated prospect, Justin Upton.

Upton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, is hitting .309 with 13 home runs in 262 at-bats for Double-A Mobile despite being just 19 years old. The organization has had Upton, normally a center fielder, playing right field sporadically for about six weeks.

Brilliant satire.

I await his Hall of Fame induction in 2034.

Hahaha, he looks a lot like Rickie Weeks. Hopefully, for your sake, he doesn't end up like him.

Justin Upton is the real deal. He's got more talent than his brother, and B.J. is really, really good himself. Quite possibly the most talented brothers to ever play the game of baseball.

Upton is 500X the player Weeks wishes to ever be.

Weeks was one of the best hitters in NCAA baseball history, and had over a .600 slugging in AA not that long ago, don't be so quick to dismiss him. He's had some injury problems, but I still think he has a bright future.

Adam Jones already 2/2 with a run socred for my fantasy team.

I sure hope so. He has massive potential but he just has horrible habits at the plate. He pulls off the ball all the time and tries to a homer every single at bat.
