Delmon Young

[tomdalton22]

Monster [/color]]he's had a down year in 2011 but prior to this he's been a damn good hitter. .298 last year with 21 HR and 112 RBI

Yes, that is a productive year. But that was his career year and he isn't anywhere close to that now. Again....this doesn't excite me. I think it's low risk but Andy Dirks is playing better than Young right now and is way better defensively.

Mitch[/color]]You threw the ptbn out there KC. My thoughts is Nelson being the primary the other guy won't be much.

maybe,

also maybe Maggs is dfa'ed or put on the DL.
or Boesch to the DL.
or,
Tigers may send down a reliever for 2 weeks, get the right mix of 11 P and 14 position players for playoff roster. Have until 8/31.

It's got to be either Guillen or Maggs going bye bye

i read in the comments on the BYB posting for it that he will be in tonight's lineup for us hitting 3rd according to someone who was on the twins' team bus.

guillen is already on the DL, it cant be him.

It's gotta be Maggs. It would make no sense to keep him. So they probably will.

Dombrowski: "We like Delmon's bat." Said they claimed him off waivers a few days ago. Young thought it was a practical joke.

DD asked about Magglio's future, says another roster move will be announced shortly.

Minnesota fans don't appear happy. They're saying the PTNL better be something good.

Well uh...since we had his older brother Da Meathook, it was kinda like his destiny, huh?

So what do we call Delmon?


Da Wormhook?

He had the worst rate for grounding into double plays and the second to worst walk rate. Despite his .289 BAVG (7th), he was 20th in OBP and 14th in SLG.

You know how Baseball Reference list similar players at that age? On Delmon Young's page it list Carl Yastrzemski. So we got that going for us

Player to be named is a prospect #tigers don't want to trade, DD says.

Maggs is getting dressed into his uniform as we post.
Magglio is in Tigers clubhouse, getting ready to work out.

Will Rhymes was optioned back to Toledo.

that's a little more worrying, but probably not horrible. young has underperformed aside from last year and is still young with a lot of talent.

I can't imagine he'd say anything different. DD always talks up his players.

Current running poll, only 18% of Twin fans dislike the trade.

I for one am fairly certain that our Tigers' esteemed batting coach, "Legendary Lloyd McClendon," will work out the kinks and flaws in Delmon's hitting approach and apparent lack of patience while in the batter's box....in what will appear to be in NO time flat!!
