Haven't seen a player in while on the Jays with a worse attitude than Upton. Guy just looks like he doesn't give a s*** at all and he's been f***ing terrible. Bautista can't get back soon enough.

Yeah, when he broke his bat over his knee that one time, the first thing I thought was "holy s***, that guy doesn't care at all."

What? So if the lead off spot happens to be the last AB of the game with the game on the line, what then?

 

That's the equivalent of saying Josh should hit 9th in case that scenario plays out with the bottom of the lineup.

Yeah cares about himself, not the team.

No, not really. MLB teams are averaging about 475 plate appearances from the 9th spot in the lineup this year, compared to 588 plate appearances from the leadoff spot. Its just basic numbers and probability - the higher in the batting order you are the more likely you are to get an extra AB in a game. Who do we want getting those extra at bats, Barney or someone good?
