Chris Young is as good as gone it seems like
jamesa-2
Probably true. The one thing I see possibly keeping CY in Arizona is that Kirk Gibson absolutely loves him as a player. CY is GIbby’s type of player and also has a track record of being a clubhouse leader type. With the season coming to a close, Gibson all but blamed the organization for CY’s poor numbers this year, going on about how the organization was responsible for pushing him back way too fast because he had almost single-handedly been carrying the team the first 11 games.
The reality is, the team can save quite a bit of cash by moving him. But then there are questions of what are they getting back that doesn’t cost the same. If they are looking to upgrade the left side of the infield, the money is just getting spent elsewhere, not saved. Without injury, CY is probably about a .250 hitter with 20-30 HR power and 20-30 SB, playing exceptional CF. The other options bring a higher average, about the same in SB, but are significant downgrades in power and close to equal in OBP while playing CF at a full tier below CY.
CY is almost certainly gone so the money can go to a SS. But unlike most, I don’t see them just unloading him as a salary dump. They’ll be looking for like value in return, and that will be hard to find.

Does Kendrick like any of his players?

What is with Kendrick? Bauer is 21 years old, and only had 4 appearances in the majors. He was drafted just over a year ago. Let the kid pitch more before making such a ridiculous comment.

As most D-back fans feel Kendrick is an idiot that does more harm than good with his comments. Did he really expect to raise Upton’s confidence and see him produce more the way he raked him over the coals this year and now he’s starting with a 21 year old who dominated the minor leagues in his first season. Kendrick needs to step down as managing partner he’s poison to this team.

Kendrick is clearly a blunt instrument. Looks like Chris Yong and Gerado Parra are on the block. Is that enough to upgrade SS and 3B? Probably not. AZ may have to consider moving one of their young pitching prospects to field a playoff caliber left side of the infield. Depending on the personnel, it might be worth it.
