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.

Domonic Brown had more BB in 400 less AB than Young

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.
