Delmon Young - Is 2009 His Big Breakout year??

Big Mac McGwire · Mar 2, 2009

The kid is still very young. He is only 23.

Games HR RBI Avg.
2006 30 3 10 .317

2007 162 13 93 .288

2008 152 10 69 .290

2009 ? ? ? ?

Has alot of potential. He still has the tools. Any thoughts???

I think this has been said of him the last two years. Guess we'll find out.

You wouldn't happen to be watching MLB Network would you?

They are showing the Young's.. Dimitri and Delmon and the issues they had to go to to get to the Big's..

Pretty good background on them..

He's looking good in spring training so far, there are numerous other threads discussing this so I don't fee like doing another long breakdown.

Wouldn't surprise me if be brokeout but wouldn't really surprise me if he didn't play well.

I think he'll play well, but not enough to live up to prospector expectations.

But in the Homer Dome.. He should do okay..

fengzhang · Mar 2, 2009

He's always going to have the "tools" but he's shown me nothing the last 2 years. 2007 was excusable to some extent but he should've improved last year which he did not.

Homer Dome is a more of a pitcher's park than a home run park. I see him at best being a 20 HR 80 RBI guy. If he starts out slow again, he could find a lot of bench time.

Derek2011 · Mar 2, 2009

Is he even going to start in that loaded OF?

4 guy rotation.

I can't really call it loaded, just full.

I think they need to start him. They'd be only selling their potential short.

I'd say that Span is the guy on the outside right now. Even after a solid first year in 08.

It's between Cuddy and Young for the RF spot from what I hear in Minnesota. Span and Gomez are locked in at LF-CF. I am not a big fan of Gomez (his plate discipline is atrocious) but he is easily one of the best defensive CF's in baseball. Span is also an amazing fielder and much more patient at the plate.

Craig - 21hawk · Mar 3, 2009

1) I've been saying in each prediction thread that if Young gets the ABs this is his year;

2) Gomez will end up getting the fewest ABs in the outfield; and

3) Bo, love the new sig. It's awesome.

...that was a very interesting "inside look" into both players. I stumbled across it last night and was glued to the television. Some of the scenese with the father were quite interesting- his intensity on the field was crazy.

I hope so. I like him as a player.
