A Delmon Young Sighting!

On September 18th we posted it here “For the Twinkies the 2009 MLB season starts tonight.” We spoke about the fact that without Justin Morneau that Michael Cuddyer would have to pick up the slack. He certainly has. Over the last 16 games starting with that crucial series against the Detroit Tigers, Cuddyer has hit .327 with 6 HR’s, 19RBI and 15 RS.

But how about the resurgence of Delmon Young? With the season on the line, “For all the marbles” in these last 16 games Young has hit .400 with 4 HR’s, 17 RBI and 12 RS.

As Lee Corso likes to say, “not so fast my friend” for all of you who have written off Young as a bust.
When you nominate Young for $1 in next year’s draft and someone bids $2 you will then hear silence…… When that happens, remember his late season surge and make certain to yell $3 because you’ll get him for that and what a steal that will prove to be. It certainly seems like Young is a veteran, bordering on journeyman, but Delmon just turned 24 years old last month. Delmon Young is finally living up to the hype forecasted for him what seems like so long ago. - Paul Leume
