Delmon Young

[mjsb2]

Mitch[/color]]Last year he had 46 doubles and a hell of a year.

1.8 WAR.

You know you suck when that's considered a hell of a year.

Magglio might have the worst range of any RF in baseball.

2.7 war on offense. I'll take but you rather have maggs, lol.

Can't say I'm happy to see a much needed replacement for Maggs turn out to be Delmon "hothead" Young.

Delmon had a monster year last year, but it was kind of flukey, and not that great this year and probably as bad in the field as Maggs is.

But something had to be done with Magglio, even though I disagree with the direction they're going in getting Young, at least it shows that DD acknowledges the problem.

Replaced, Inge, and Magglio, how long before we get a new second sacker?

This season, defensive war .6 and maggs -1

 

[tomdalton22]

Mitch[/color]].289 career average and is a better fielder than most of our OF, I'll take it.

lol

What?

He is worse than any OFer on our team, even Magglio.

There is no way he is worse than Maggs

Obviously the Tigers still don't have their worthy leadoff hitter "yet", but like I have posted before, apparently the team is determinedly going to stick with AJax batting in that spot...

or bust.

Delmon sure ain't a base-stealer either, so the sorely needed, and clearly lacking team speed on the basepaths yet remains.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I think they'll get some of that done next season but August 15 not much you can do at this late stage. Mqggs just lost it.

Must have missed the post where I said I wanted Maggs.

Could you please link me to it?

Not wanting Young is saying you want Maggs in the OF. Whose at bats do you think he's taking. Once BB comes back, Maggs is the one losing time.

 

[mhughes0021]

where does he hit in the lineup?

 

[tomdalton22]

I guess the trade doesn't change the team too much. The Tigers are a poor defensive team with an average pitching staff that has some players that can hit for average but very little power.

Actually, I think Dirks should be playing LF & Boesch in RF

Quite a leap there.

So the only options we have are Maggs or Delmon Young?

Where do you think?

It's Leyland and his lousy and lazy lineup management.

Whenever somebody replaces somebody in the lineup they just take that players spot, so he will be batting 3rd.

Well yeah who do you think he's getting his at bats from it really is that simple.

Lol oh ya! Totally forgot.

Personally I woulda been fine with a boesch ajax dirks OF the rest of the way. Now if you're hoping for a new rfer next year that means were benching young and his 6 mil salary....waste of money. On the other hand if we roll with young in rf next year...well...that just sucks lol.
