Delmon Young earning $5.38 million this season but has a career-worst .662 OPS. But he has an .865 OPS in August -- best this year. jonmorosi Jon Morosi #Tigers will have the option to bring Delmon Young back for '12 through salary arb. But he's been viewed as a non-tender candidate. #Twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 How did Delmon Young slip through waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 He'll have a good amount more protection in that lineup. I'd expect his numbers to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) How did Delmon Young slip through waivers? He might have just fallen to the Tigers and had the Tigers put a claim on him. I think that would mean, for example, the NL never saw him, the Yankees/Boston never saw him if that were true.

I'd expect his numbers to get better. He's also moving to Comerica though. No matter what people say about Target Field...Comerica is huge.

Real Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Cant believe he fell to DET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 QUOTE (Real @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Cant believe he fell to DET Considering CLE's injury trouble in the OF, I'm surprised they didn't take a chance on him. Other than that, I don't see many other AL teams below DET that may have wanted him, maybe the Mariners for next year since their offense is dreadful?

Steve9347 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Jeez, that lineup is deep Minus the whole Delmon Young part. Dude's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I give DET credit for doing what they can to improve, recognizing weakness and acting like they're "all in." But nothing would give me more joy than to see them NOT win the division, esp after extending Dumbrowski and Leyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Reason #1 we know Jordan4Life doesn't have a twitter account....

Well here we go ChrisVannini Chris Vannini Dombrowski: "We like Delmon's bat." Said they claimed him off waivers a few days ago. Young thought it was a practical joke. That is their MLB reporter.
