Bloops: Michael Young’s Assault on 200

Posted by Neil Paine on August 25, 2009

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a small piece on Michael Young's resurgent 2009 season. Finally healthy again, Young is very much on pace for his 6th 200-hit campaign in 7 years, after a performance in 2008 that made many (myself included) question whether he'd ever be an elite hitter again. If he does reach 200 hits and maintains his current rate stats, he'd become just the third thirtysomething 3rd baseman ever to accomplish that feat and post an OPS+ of greater than 135 in a season.

    Yeah, I was surprised by that one, too. I always think of him as having been a catcher, but by 1971 (age 30) he had stopped donning the tools of ignorance entirely.
