iamshack Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:01 PM) Not in the least. Young is the kind of player you're disappointed if a player becomes, because he has all the talent in the world but can't learn how to hit any way other than "Swing hard in case you hit something". Dayan? Young has had some very nice extended periods...and he has all the tools. I wouldn't write him off yet. He got off to a great start this year before getting hurt.

Jake Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) Supposedly he tweaked his swing this offseason and came out of the gate like gangbusters hitting .400+. Then he got injured and missed 3 weeks, so who know if he will keep it up. Noticed that his stats looked gawdy, but no at bats. Interesting.

caulfield12 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 19, 2012 -> 07:00 PM) It seems to me Young is the type of player you'd hope Rios would be. Young is a stud. Delmon Young or Michael Young? Greg, you're drinking too much of Harrelson's kool-aid from the first time he faced us when he was with Tampa.

Balta1701 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 19, 2012 -> 08:02 PM) Exactly. Of course we're happy that he does hit things, but he didn't by any means maximize his talent. IIRC, he at least is a good CF defensively You can come up with other great examples. BJ Upton is another one. Grady Sizemore is another one. These guys manage to cut down the strikeouts by 25% and they win MVP awards, but they can never learn how to do that for some reason. They're nto as good but that's the exact problem some of the guys in our org have. Danks2, Mitchell are that same boat. Great athletes, but the strikeouts are keeping them out of the big leagues.

Jake Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 lol, Karros talking frankly about the Sox. Would have made more sense a couple weeks ago. They act like Dunn-PK-AJ are the only hitters in the lineup. Leaving out ADA, Rios, Viciedo 2.0, (spot reserved for Orlando Hudson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
