Any Diamondbacks fans here?

They caved in and now Justin Upton has agreed to sign.

This kid is the King Felix of positional players.

I can't wait to drive out to Tucson in a few years to watch him play for the Sidewinders.

I'm kind of a D-Backs fan. I'm really a Yah Mule fan, first and foremost, but their geographical proximity makes me lean slightly towards the Snakes. I really liked that group of old guys they had together a few years ago. Gonzo is one of my favorite players ever.

Lots of promising BabyBacks have spawned from their farm system the last couple years. Upton and Drew will infuse even more talent into the mix.

I'm just glad Javier Vazquez took his gopher balls and ****ty attitude elsewhere. Hitters will be dialing long distance on him regularly at US Cellular and I can't wait to see it happen.

I still don't know why I like him enough to draft.

God bless you if you go that route.

Javier's monthy ERAs last year:

April - 6.11
May - 2.15
June - 6.75
July - 3.71
August - 7.09
Sep/Oct - 2.93

I'm not riding that roller coaster again. His performance was bad enough, but he whines a lot, too. I'm really glad to see him gone.

Foot2balls, Upton will likely play at class A Lancaster in the California League at some point this season. He's going to be right in our own backyard!

Vaz has always been a whiner and was never a favorite of mine while in MTL.
