Where's the best sledding hill in Philly? (1 Answer)
The Stove is Heating Up
Paul Hagan is reporting the longtime Sports Complex favorite Delmon Young is on the Phillies wish list. Money quote:
The Twins have an excess in the outfield with Michael Cuddyer returning from an injury-plagued season, Carlos Gomez (who came from the Mets in the Johan Santana trade) and Denard Span, who has established himself as their leadoff hitter.
So they are apparently willing to listen to offers for Young. A potential snag from the Phillies perspective is that they almost certainly would ask for top prospect Jason Donald and are also seeking bullpen help.
Young has had problems in the past, but he’s also a drool-over talent, Cholly and the CBP’s professional locker room might be just the place for a guy like DY to thrive. If Donald and a middle reliever are the cost the Phillies have to consider it.
So yes, the purists will point to this:
And they might have a point – some things are pretty hard to forgive. Still, I’d argue that his scouting reports are just as important.
Dude has tools like a young Billy Beane.
