Delmon Young to the Phillies

[SFrush90]

You can argue that will any player. Even Adam Lind has good stretches lol. Baseball is a game, where players go threw these type of stretches. The best baseball players, are those who limit the bad stretches defensively and offensively

And he's a poor baseball player that has few stretches of being good.

That's actually pretty smart.

Too bad he's still fat, though.

only problem is that this makes this deal worth a lot more if he does all of this.

He could make close to 3 million bucks this year.

But then again, maybe having his weight in check will make the deal more reasonable and his production better.

Sad that you have to make a 27 year professional athlete follow weight rules.

Hell Daric Barton had more BB's in almost 500 less PA.

When you have a rotation like the Phillies, who cares about defense?

I love this move. Finally Amaro does something good. Delmon Young brings versatility and power to a lineup that's already one of the strongest in the league overall. He's also a right handed hitter which is exactly what we needed. I feel like his patience at the plate will be an asset, especially hitting in the middle of the line-up. His defense is also very good and has a great throwing arm. He can cover a lot of space and CBP is not that big anyway.
