JD didn't go directly to the majors, he spent the rest of 1997 after the draft and part of 1998 in the minors. The only knock on JD Drew is that he is injury prone. Look beyond the BA, he has a career 134 OPS+, a carrer OPB of almost .400 and his AB/HR is equivalent to over 30 for a full season. Like him or not those are damn fine numbers.

Anyways, I was referring to Justin Upton, brother of BJ Upton from the Devil Rays. Although I'm equally excited about Stephen Drew as well. He knocked the shit out of the ball in the high A California League and then later in the Fall League. Both are hitter's leagues but his performance was way above that of almost everyone in those leagues.
