In a season and two months as a Brave, Upton has more than twice as many strikeouts (207) as hits (101)

Pats,
Some of these signings don't even make sense from a baseball perspective or economic POV (mean drawing fans, etc).
Not one person was like, wow, we got Robbie Cano, let me get some M's Season Tix. Stephen Drew getting $10M yesterday for the remainder of the season, really. Should have given him no more than $7.
Yankees paying Jeter $45M at the end of his career. When they could have given him 30.
Worst deal ever, Arod opting out and Yanks bid against themselves and pay $275 until he is 42. Plain stupid. Trout and Kershaw deals make sense even if they don't live up to the money because of age and years.
Make it a 9 game hit streak...........I remember being at a Braves game last year and B.J. Upton was getting booed every time he made an out, but then he won the game in the extra innings........The entire crowd was rooting for him as everyone wanted him to succeed.......After that game everyone thought it would give him confidence and get him going for the season, but it didn't happen.....At least he has a better batting average this year....He's improving..
