food4thought said:I think alot of Raburns hitting problems stem from playing a defensive position he is utterly incapable of handling (2B)... if given LF regularly he might not be that bad in the first half (can't remember if we've done that with him yet).
Still, Young is coming up on a contract year and has significantly higher power potential... I think him batting behind Martinez is a good deal, but not him batting 3rd due to low OBP.
Another possibility would be to keep both and hope Young plays out of his mind in the first half, then use him in a trade to upgrade the team long term, and let Raburn play his usual 2nd half in LF.
lol
Raburn has shown better power than Young over his career.
