Tigers left fielder Justin Upton was having a pretty terrible season, but there's a reason he was signed to a six-year, $132.75 million deal this past offseason. He has a ton of talent. Is he finally tapping into it? He just might be.
Through Aug. 18, Upton was hitting .226/.281/.371 with 13 homers and 46 RBI. Given that he isn't much help on defense, this is utterly dreadful production. It would be bad no matter what, but for a player making the type of green Upton is, it was a major shortfall for the Tigers.
