This is a good trade. Upton won't get on base a lot (he should hit in the bottom third of the order) but he's got very decent power, speed, and he plays solid D. His glove will replace Jose's (Upgrade) and his Bat/Baserunning will replace Smoak (Upgrade) if they choose to have Jose DH more. It adds a lot of flexibility to the line-up. I like it.
