Micheal Young SS Rangers Demands To Be Traded!
Posted by rotoenquire on January 11, 2009
Last month the Texas Rangers approached Micheal Young about moving to Third base. His response? Trade me now! The Mets, Royals, Dodgers and Angels have all talked to the Rangers about the Gold Glove SS.
The Dodgers should be out of it now with the signing of Furcal.
The Angels have allot of young pitching to trade and could make a move at little harm to there major league staff.
The Mets have Jose Reyes and adding Young could cause a rift there unless Reyes is coming to the Rangers. But the Rangers have Elvis Andrus ready to go at SS and projects to be a better defender than Young and Reyes.
The Royals would be an interesting fit, but I do not think Young would except a trade there.
To me the best choice would be the Atlanta Braves, a trade involving Kelly Johnson and moving the Braves starting SS Yunel Escobar to Second base making room for Young. The Braves also have some pitching to add to a deal, say a Jo-Jo Reyes and Charlie Morton along with Johnson could be a good haul for Young.
No matter who Young gets delt to the Rangers may need to eat some of his 62 million still owed.
