D-Rays Willing To Trade Upton, Young?
According to Mike Berardino of the Sporting News, the Rays have been willing to discuss trades for both Delmon Young and B.J. Upton this winter. (Berardino also writes for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel). Apparently Upton's attitude and shaky defense scare rival teams more than Young's attitude alone.


Sort of caught my eye at first <Trade Upton & Young, D-#####>. A little too close for comfort.

The article mentions the D-Rays wanting Olsen from the Marlins for Upton but the Marlins not falling for it.

I read the articl too and to be honest, I can understand the teams cautious attitude. Rumors and I repeat, they are just rumers, ar that both Upton and Young are discpline problems. We all know of the incident where Young threw the bat at the Ump. Young it seems thinks he already has it made and refused to help pick up balls after batting pratice.

Both of these players seem to think that just because they have signed with a Major League team that they have it made, a sense of entitlement like that is sure to piss people off, and it has.

The kindest thing I have read is that Major League scouts are doubting their committment to the game. Anyways that the word I have been hearing.

I hate to watch young people waste their god given talents, it just pisses me off. I know that I for one would have loved to have such a chance I only lacked talent, athletic ability or the drive or I could have played in the minors LOL

Have a great night all... Im bored so I'll be here for a while yet.
