Just how bad do B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla suck? Worst I have ever seen!

Meanwhile as they are sucking Jason Heyward is batting a robust .145.

At a tenth of the salary, but yeah, he's off to his usual terrible start. Beginning to lose hope that he has "it" or that he's ever gonna find "it" honestly

Recent Braves right field history repeating itself unfortunately. Like Francouer he seems to be a solid citizen but beginning to look like a moderate bust.

This guy, on the other hand, looks to be the real deal.

Franceour has played in the MLB over 9 years and owns a .263 BA. I don't call that a bust. He was an above average batter and had a great OF arm.

If those were my stats, I would consider myself a serviceable MLer.
I think when you look @ Frenchy's best three years and the fact they were his first three by and large and how he could never adjust to ML pitching after they figured out how to pitch to him - he's a moderate bust to me.
And I think Heyward is headed down the same path apparently.

You know what it is? All these guys have been off of the 'roids because they were afraid of getting caught now. That's why they were "decent stars" about 5 years ago but have since sucked really bad. That's the only logical explanation I can think of. How can you suck so bad all of a sudden?
If I can throw out another name: Kemp. I don't know how he could suck so bad after having such MVP numbers. Injuries, sure...but I'm skeptical. I still think it's ridiculous to pay any major leaguer the amount of money these guys are paid for doing jack. And then they get injured and the fans are supposed to cut them slack. I'm sorry, but I ain't cutting slack for any guy who gets paid over $10 Million for playing sports. They get paid ridiculous amounts.....they should expect criticism to come with the territory.

Probably just best to sit these guys if they can, and eat the contracts.

Looks like the Braves might have a nice replacement for Uggla at 2nd Base in Tommy LaStella. No power but put up some nice numbers in the minors. I don't know how good he is defensively.

He certainly can't do any worse then Uggla.

B.J., I don't know. They might not have a suitable replacement for him. Braves fans could probably answer that question better. The other complication may be not wanting to upset the productive Upton brother on the team.
