His price tag is prohibitive and 2 of the last 3 years his OPS outside of Texas was under .700. Keep Michael Young far away from my team.
Young's Road numbers, career: .279/.322/.411/.733
Scott Spiezio's Road #s, career: .255/.330/.425/.754
I would not pay 34 year old Scott Spiezio 16 million a year for the next 3 years either.
Figgins is movable with a good first-half, should we find a cheaper/better option. Or he can stay if there are no better options. Young will be immovable. The team he goes to is stuck with him through 2013. We already did this with Milton Bradley. If they wanted to take Milton and Figgins for this year, I guess I'd think about it.
And then I'd still turn it down, because I want a real player with Milton's money in 2012, not the corpse of Michael Young.
