D-Backs' 20-year-old manchild
Upon Justin Upton's approach to the batter's box and introduction to the crowd, you half expect the plate umpire to card him, to check his driver's license for the date of birth. Not to make sure he's 21 or over, mind you. To the contrary. "He doesn't appear to be a 20-year-old," said Upton's manager with the Diamondbacks, Bob Melvin. "That's one of the reasons he was brought up to the big leagues at a young age, because he's beyond his years and could handle it if he didn't get off to a great start and had some failures." Failures? Has he had any? "Yeah," said Melvin. "I think he had an 0-for-1 in Cincinnati."

Manchild? Who still uses that lingo? I would have thought a high falutin' rag like the Union-Trib could have found a better adjective.
