Upton ‘Loses’ at arbitration

Posted Feb 13, 2010 by Roger Mooney

Updated Feb 13, 2010 at 05:40 PM

The panel of three arbitrators sided with the Rays on Saturday, meaning center fielder B.J. Upton will make $3 million this season and not the $3.3 million he sought.

Upton made $435,000 in 2009.

The Rays are now 4-0 in arbitration hearings.

I can’t believe that Upton warrants 3 million dollars?  Great outfielder and can cover a lot of ground, but those type guys are also found at the AAA level as well.  Upton needs to have a breakout year or I’d be shopping him around and would make a spot for a younger guy that can hit and hustle and not strike out half the time.
