Detroit Tigers playing own brand of Moneyball
As the playoffs near, the Detroit Tigers will have to go and find their luckiest pair of dice, belly up to the table, and enter an 8-team craps tournament to see who gets to bring home the World Series trophy.
Some might argue that there’s a little more to it than luck, while others will contend that the biggest prize of all, is merely earning the right to participate in the playoffs...

Tigers Trade for Delmon Young Will Make Lineup Even Better
The Detroit Tigers trade for Delmon Young on Monday is a shocking one on a number of fronts, but it bolsters an already dangerous lineup. It’s surprising because Young is only 25 years old and proved to be helpful in the Minnesota Twins lineup in years past. Last season, Young hit .298, with 21 home runs, and 112 RBI and is a career .289 hitter.
This season Young has had a bit...

Twins trade Young to Tigers
The Minnesota Twins have traded outfielder Delmon Young to division rival Detroit for a minor league pitcher and a player to be named.
The trade was announced on Monday. The Twins acquired left-hander Cole Nelson from the Tigers.

Is Delmon Young on the verge of breaking out?
It was less than two weeks ago in this space that I chronicled Delmon Young’s swing, which had become slower, and that his timing was all sorts of messed up. According to observations from FSN analyst Roy Smalley Young was putting too much of his weight on his front foot, leaving him to hit with just his hands. This left him unable to drive the ball in the manner in which...

Delmon Young to return Friday
Another day off for the Twins comes with some good news. Delmon Young is set to be activated from the disabled list for the weekend series against Toronto. This comes on the heels of another terrible game where it was the bullpen, not the offense, that terrorized the Twins. So a little good news is helpful at this point. Anything positive works for me, because the negativity swirling...

Yankees work Delmon Young away
Delmon Young
had one of those spring training that makes on-lookers’ eyes pop. In 48
Grapefruit League at-bats, Young tagged three home runs and hit three most
doubles for good measure. At his Star Tribune blog this spring, LaVelle
Neal raved about the laser show Young was producing in the Florida
sunshine:
“Looks
like Young has decided to pull the ball more this year. He'...

Delmon Young will be a beast in 2011
After writing about Justin Morneau and what we can expect from him this season, I got to thinking about what kind of season Delmon Young could have in 2011. I have to tell you, I am absolutely stoked to see what he will do this year. I was so confident in him putting up monster numbers that I drafted him in my keeper league, and I rarely take Twins players on my fantasy teams.
I...
