标题: [闲聊] Redsox sign Chris Young
时间: Tue Dec 1 02:28:17 2015
The Red Sox and outfielder Chris Young are in agreement on a multi-year
contract, pending a physical, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter
link). Young is represented by CAA Sports.
The 32-year-old Young has significantly rebuilt his stock after a dismal
showing with the 2014 Mets in which he failed to live up to the club’s
one-year, $7.25MM free-agent investment. Young latched on with the Yankees
late that offseason and posted an impressive .282/.354/.521 batting line in
79 plate appearances. That showing led to a one-year, $2.5MM contract to
return to the Bronx, and Young exceeded expectations on that deal by a fair
margin.
In 2015, Young batted a healthy .252/.320/.453 in 356 trips to the plate
spread across 140 contests for the Yankees. Young possesses decent pop
against right-handed pitching but nearly all of his production comes against
lefties at this point. Last season, he logged 175 plate appearances when
holding the platoon advantage and batted an incredible .327/.397/.575 with
seven home runs. As such, he figures to be held to primarily a platoon role
in Boston, though he clearly can deliver a good amount of value at the plate
in said capacity.
