As far as acquiring Upton everything so far has been posturing.  The same thing happened with Lee.  One unnamed exec will tell Fox Sports that Arizona is asking for way too much, then ESPN will say Arizona already has a good enough package but just wants to see if they can get a little more. 
Lee brought a great bundle because clubs could actually envision that there team could and probably would be the favorites to make it to the WS.  Upton isn't creating that buzz, at least to me, so the frenzy won't be as great.
I am wary of Arizona trading Upton.  Clubs can wait there entire existence and not have a talent like him.  They have him signed to a good contract and they're just going to trade him?  M's would never of considered doing that with Griffey or Arod when they were 23.  I think it's suspicious and I'd be very wary of not only injuries but the whole package.
