He is hitting .368 (28-for-76) overall, with five homers and 13 RBI, but has struck out 18 times. Manager Bob Melvin commented, "He’s off to an unbelievable start. I don’t know that he hits .370 or .380 over the course of the season, but I know confidence-wise, knowing that he’s getting it done early on, getting it done in our division against good pitching is something to fall back on."

February 25, 2008
Justin Upton appeared to have packed on some muscle over the offseason, according to MLB.com. "He doesn't look like he's 20," manger Bob Melvin said of Upton. "He's got a chance to be a pretty good size. He already is. And he's put together pretty well, too." Upton is slated to start for the D'Backs in right field on opening day, and although he may not fully cash in on his considerable potential this year, he's still not a bad guy to gamble on late in a draft.
