Padres Decline 2011 Option For Chris Young

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | November 3, 2010 at 4:52pm CDT

The Padres declined Chris Young's 2011 option, according to MLB.com's Corey Brock (on Twitter). We heard last month that the Padres would not pick up his $8.5MM option, so it is no surprise to see the tall right-hander hit free agency officially.

Young experienced shoulder problems all year and appeared in just four games. He logged 20 innings and allowed only two earned runs, but he walked 11. Young has always been hard to hit, but walks have been a problem for him throughout his seven-year career.

    He’s still got plenty left in the tank. I’d like to see the Cubs take a flyer on him after a largely lost 2010 season. A little bit of fresh blood in the rotation wouldn’t be a bad thing, plus it would give us a reason to move Zambrano.

      except for the fact that zambrano has a full ntc and has said in the past he wont lift it to be traded…and trading Z would be hard anyway due to his salary, his lack of mental stability and diminishing stuff..

        Wilson and Bud Black are old friends. Not that Wilson would have any say in whether or not he would go there..

      I couldn’t agree more on Francis. He has had some back luck with injuries, but as is always the case, pitching in Petco could really help him get back. Not to mention Balsley is a great pitching coach who doesn;t get nearly the credit he should.

        Absolutley. And he’s a veteran, something that their current rotation does not have.

          Pitching, defense and a bunch of .280 hitters with speed is what this team needs. Does anyone remember the Cardinals of the ’80s.

    I think he’ll be back with them, he’ll be fairly cheap and can rebuild his value with a healthy year in Petco…though he hasn’t had a fully healthy year in a while.

      I don’t think so. Chris Young has always been more of a fly ball pitcher which is why he worked out so well for San Diego and probably would’ve bombed had he not been traded out of Texas. This goes against Duncan’s preaching.

        ^This. Young is an extreme flyball pitcher and he routinely pitches up in the zone. He has been physically unable (dude is 6’10”) to pitch to the lower half of the the zone his whole career.

        Texas had to trade him because there was no way he was ever going to be able to pitch in their park.

        The Seattle Mariners are tailor made for Chris Young’s skill set with their expansive park and their very good outfield. They should consider adding him.

    Tigers. I’d like to see a veteran like Young join the rotation.
