Upton also hasn't hit over .246 since 2008 and .246 was what he hit last year while at the same time posting a career low OBP of .298.
In the last five years:
Bourn OBP: .338
Upton OBP: .330
Bourn OPS: .704
Upton OPS: .746
Upton SLG%: .416
Bourn SLG%: .365
Upton gives you twenty homers. Bourn gets you 55 stolen bases. However, Upton also gets you 30 SB's and Bourn might get you 5. Plus, Upton's two years younger and their defense is the same and honestly, it was the right decision to go with Upton.
