Delmon Young: make or Break year
johnsilver
For sure. Only shame is he isn’t a Boras client and we won’t get the “privilege” of hearing some of the hogwash of what “The book of tall tales” is on his attributes is after he is released and his holding out the tin cup looking for a job.
It could The Greatest Story Ever Told sequel.

I have to wonder what the Tigers saw in him when they acquired him from the Twins…as for the then Devil Rays—what if they had taken Rickie Weeks instead of Delmon Young? (Weeks was the #2 overall draft pick of the 2003 draft, behind Young.)

Well I wouldn’t say that Young was a bust for the Rays. In fact, in 2007 he was the runner up for the AL Rookie of the Year behind Pedroia and was traded in a package for Garza among others. I would say that trade worked out very well for the Rays…
ObamaDinoKiller
he makes 260k in a week??? something’s not right with the world
thesultanofswingandmiss
If Young gets that much a week. Imagine how much Prince gets.
EdinsonPickle
261k?

7 games not 7 days. But still that’s a whole lotta dough!

wow really??…

His immaturity has caught up with him…but at least he isn’t a Milton Bradley-style headcase.
melonis_rex
huh? Milton Bradley was a headcase, but he never assaulted anyone. Seriously, this is far worse than anything Milton did.
Paul Shailor
Yea Milton was a head case but Delmon is flat out violent. Throwing bats at umpires, assaulting people. Guy needs a reality check.

Yeah he needs to be released and see who picks him up then….. If Tigers do so they could possibly go out and get Oswalt to help the rotation. Then make Dirks your everyday LF.
dskirsa
What difference would releasing Young make in acquiring Oswalt? If they release Young, they still have to pay him.
forkball27
Actually that is incorrect. What he did was a hate crime and since he was arrested and tried it falls under the John Rocker law that is written into all contracts. If a hate crime is committed the team can release him with out having to pay out the entire contract. A buyout yes but not the entire contract.
