With the blessing of manager Joe Maddon, B.J. Upton has stopped taking pregame batting practice on the field for physical "maintenance," which could mean his left shoulder is hurting more than he's letting on. …

i will not be shocked if Upton has off-season surgery

Hopefully it takes place during the off-season.

wouldn't it be better

…if he has it AFTER the season but BEFORE the next one? Just a thought.

wouldn't it be best

…if he has it after this season, but before next season, and is fully recovered by february 09?

I have no problems letting Perez play center for a week if BJ needs time off

I would rather have Upton as close to 100% in October

Not a bad idea.

If the Rays put ALL their starters on the DL, they wouldn’t lose again.

You're so bitter

Why don’t you go cling to your guns and religion.

When the rapture comes I'll either be taken or well enough armed to kill a buncha people.

The Rapture is now mainstream Christian

His shoulder has to be hurting. He's to good to be slugging under .400.

I hope it’s not a serious shoulder issue and can be scoped in the offseason and he can be 100% by January.

I knew this kid was hurt

That explains his lack of power. The Rays sure did a good job of covering it up all season. Get well BJ, and we’ll see what you can do next season. My guess is he returns to the middle of the order.
