"He (B.J. Upton) hit a ball in BP out to right-center into the second bullpen, with no velocity. He's hitting balls 410 feet the other way. You're not going to see this much, in your baseball career. I don't even know if I can name you a handful of guys who do it this easy." - Sportswriter Josh Boyd in Top 20 Prospects (Baseball America, 11/18/2003)
