Let’s talk about the Uptons.
We’ll start with the “good” Upton, Justin. The man’s on a pace to put up a 31-homer, 33-steal season. There are only 38 players in the history of baseball who have put up 30/30 seasons, and the list of 11 active players in that elite group includes names like Trout, Braun, HanRam, and Kemp. Exactly zero of those 38 thirty-thirty guys wore a Padres uniform in the year they accomplished the task. So what Upton is doing is pretty exciting for fans of the San Diego organization. He hasn’t done it yet, but it’s hard to remember any Padre being on anything close to that pace this far into the season.
