05/13/2012 20:18 Hit Parade for Week 7
As interleague play gets under way there are many matchups to break down. Our Scott White tells you who the best bets and biggest risks are in his Hit Parade for Week 7.
In the minor leagues, Justin Upton showed good strike zone recognition, but that skill was not in evidence over his first four seasons in the majors. While he has always walked frequently, Upton struck out plenty as well. In 2011, Upton finally improved his contact skills, dramatically reducing his strikeout rate by nine percentage points. With all of that extra contact came career highs in home runs (31) and doubles (39). Upton still has the capability to hit .300, and 2012 could be the first time that he crosses that batting average threshold while also surpassing 30 homers, 100 RBI and 20 steals. That promise makes Upton one of the top outfield targets in this spring's drafts, and he will likely be taken by the second round in most leagues. (Updated 1/9/12)
