Matt Young

[bassburns]

So ok the guys 29 year old journeyman or minor leaguer, or AAAAr'.

However with 147 ab's he took 46 BBs in Toledo this year. He also has speed, I'm not sure of his defense but even though he's a career minor leaguer probably for good reason. The guy takes walks and looks to be aggressive with his speed.

Maybe he'll get on base in front of the 2 big guys. Or maybe we can bat Boesch 2nd have him strike out and have Matt young hit in the 9 hole. Whatever we think is best.

There he is, your newest shiny tiger.

Yup hopefully he can maintain that OBP somewhat... That would really help.

Basically, he's like Don Kelly, except he actually has a chance of posting a decent OBP.

Time to DFA Kelly, there's no use for him.

He's not on the mudhens roster anymore. He's on our active roster, seen here. http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=det

I'm assuming he'll be in tonights lineup?...

I believe he replaced Dirks who went on the 15 day DL.

Correct.

06/03/12 Detroit Tigers placed LF Andy Dirks on the 15-Day disabled list retroactive to May 31, 2012. Right Achilles tendinitis.
Detroit Tigers called up Matt Young from Toledo Mud Hens.

Dirks is on the DL for his sore achilles...
