Young waived no-trade clause so #Phillies could make trade. Grew up a #Dodgers fan.

he hits for an empty .276 and plays horrific defense at 3rd.

The question is, is he an improvement over Uribe? I think so.

 

[besaesa]

He is an improvement offensively but NOT on the defensive end. With that said, I heard he is going to be giving Uribe and Agon rests and will not be the primary third baseman because Uribe has earned the job.

Uribe has a higher OPS+ than Young. And when you factor in defense, it isn't really close.

you got a good point i think Don will use Uribe & Young depending on match ups...not a bad problem to have

I knew this, but Uribe is a loose cannon and not very consistent. His defense is good but I have to think they're going to give Young more than a chance to get the job.

Young is a great bench bat, good deal, didn't give up anything good anyways

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

This trade is looking much better now...with Kemp out now!

Wheew!!!!

 

[besaesa]

We can really use Michael Young's bat in our lineup

 

[Silas]

Young has been and will be a benefit to this club. I'm glad the Dodgers picked him up.
