Yahoo Sports: Edited by Yahoos?
This morning, a source emailed me the following screen capture:
Poor Justin Upton. Like younger siblings everywhere, you will always, apparently, be stuck in the shadow of your older brother. Even though you are a highly touted prospect on one of the youngest, most overperforming teams in the majors, and big bro BJ is centerfielder on the young, but perennially sucky Devil Rays.
Upton the Younger:
The fact is that he was the best hitting prospect in the minors before being called up, and he’s also been the best prospect for his age ever since age 12, according to Baseball America.
Upton the Elder: Either having a breakout year or a statistical anomaly, he’s hitting over .300 in his third year in the majors after hitting under .260 the previous two years.
Thanks to my anonymous source {aka Steve Carpenter} for the tip!

How ironic is it that under the title “Yahoo Sports: Edited by Yahoos?” you go on abut how the poor younger brother is living under his big brother’s shadow, and you actually get the guy’s name wrong? Classic! Who’s your editor?
