For a number of years Delmon Young was the next baseball superstar when the Rays tabbed him first overall in the 2003 draft. Brother of Dmitri, Young had the lineage and tools to become just that. Comparisons to Albert Belle, Gary Sheffield, and even Manny Ramirez popped up. Naturally, Young waited to sign until late September, delaying his professional debut until 2004. After debuting on Baseball...

Man the Rays are a GOOD ballclub. They sure nuff put it all together this year. Ex-Stros GM Gerry Hunsicker and Houstonian Andrew Friedman made a few really sharp trades - goodbye Elijah Dukes, Joey Gathright and Delmon Young and hello acquisitions Matt Garza, (Houstonian) J.P Howell and defensive SS whiz Jason Bartlett (yeh I remember [...]

Michael Cuddyer is overvalued by the Minnesota Twins. Do I have your attention? I hope so because Bill Smith and the Twins are rumored to be shopping left fielder Delmon Young. I mean, with the emergence of Denard Span and Brian Buscher this year along with the clear productivity of Young I was planning on putting together a [...]

The Minnesota Twins may have come up a run short of winning the AL Central this year, but it was still a pretty successful season for the team. After all, nobody expected them to be competitive this season after losing both Torii Hunter and Johan Santana, yet there they were challenging for another division title. Another reason that the Twins were a surprise this year is that they played the

According to Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: The Twins won't talk about it, but it's expected that Delmon Young, the left fielder they obtained from Tampa Bay before this past season, will be made available on the trade market. It seems an odd time to shop Young, but moving him for a shortstop or third baseman might clear the way for an outfield of Michael Cuddyer, Carlos Gomez, and Denard...

I'll dig in a bit later on today, but calling Delmon Young an absolute disaster who needs to be traded before people realize how awful he is seems a little strong stupid to me. The guy just turned 23 two weeks ago. How many 23 year old leftfielders are playing at the major league level at all (much less hitting .290 in it')

I don't really consider Lil Wayne a real rapper but that's not really the point of this post: Do you have any friends in Major League Baseball? I haven't met anyone yet. I'd like to meet Delmon Young or Prince Fielder. Those are my two favorite players. I love Delmon 'cause he's an energetic young guy, an ambitious player. And Prince, s--t, with his size and what he can accomplish, man I think the...

On April 30 of this year, I wrote the following: If the Minnesota Twins offered me Delmon Young right now for Tampa Bay pitcher Matt Garza and shortstop Jason Bartlett, I'd think about it for 0.2 seconds and then say, "Okay." And now I say: Whoops. And furthermore: Doh! Okay, I finally admit it. I was wrong. read more

Delmon Young was 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBI for the Twins, who trail the front-running White Sox by 1 1/2 games in the American League Central.

Once again, the lowly Mariners found a way to resemble Lou Piniella’s boys than Jim Riggleman’s — in other words, a team that can play. Miguel Batista found control for what seemed like the first time to contain the Twins attack, but with the score tied at 1 in the 8th, Delmon Young came through [...]
