who?

Only one of the best prospects in all of baseball. He was the No. 1 pick in 2005, rated in Baseball America's top 10 (I think he was No. 2... can't remember).

If Arizona is smart, they won't send him back to the minors (unless he struggles immensely, of course).

As well as BJ Upton's brother..

I hope he doesn't struggle.. But will he play because Drew starts at short, Dustin?

Upton has been in the outfield quite a bit in the minors.

Yea, he's been playing CF in the minors. He'll play RF in the majors as Chris Young is a better CF'er than Upton.

Speaking of Drew, he's struggling quite a bit this year.

The D-Backs have some impressive young position players: Upton, Young, Quentin, Drew, Jackson, Reynolds, Montero, Callaspo (stolen from Anaheim) -- too bad they don't have anywhere nearly as talented pitching prospects.
