Is he a superstar yet?

Re: MB'09 - Justin Upton
One question I have about Justin Upton is whether he will add stolen bases to his repertoire.
I think he will develop into a strong 3-4 category performer, but will he be a 4-5 category performer to drive him into the upper eschelon of fantasy players.
Are stolen bases in his future? Baserunning is a skill that can be improved upon.

Re: MB'09 - Justin Upton
there is something about him that I just don't like. I can't put my finger on it but it is there. It's very unlikely I would ever draft him. Someone else can have his breakout season.

Re: MB'09 - Justin Upton
Every scouting report I've read or heard has stated that Justin Upton is an extremely fast runner. On the other hand, I've heard Upton say himself that he doesn't feel comfortable running on big league pitchers yet because he has no idea how to read them. It's an area that, if he works hard on it, he could certainly post high teens or even 20-something steals. But I don't have any insight as to whether that's an area he's focusing on at the moment or not.
