Tigers Get D Young

[manchild24]

Tigers acquired OF Delmon Young from the Twins for LHP Cole Nelson and a player to be named later.
Young, 25, has posted a disappointing .266/.305/.357 batting line, four home runs and 32 RBI in 84 games this season for Minnesota. But he had an .862 OPS, 21 homers and 112 RBI last year, and the Tigers will hope he blossoms again with a change of scenery. He should see regular action in the Detroit outfield down the stretch.

I liked Delmon during his time in Minny, but he just couldn't shake his ability to disappear for long stretches of time. If he can continue to get better at taking low/outside breaking balls, he'll do well for the Tigers.

Any Tiger fans know anything about the pitcher that was dealt to the Twins?

[Berowsk]

Well he is 4 solid stars and a hollow, so he has room to improve. Solid 85+ player in a year or two.

Young needed a change of scenery, and I think the Tigers are a good team for him. The only problem is that he's not a good fielder, and on the Tigers, they can not hide him at DH.

But they can play him in LF, which is fine.
