Delmon Young wants two year deal, Orioles offering him one year

[weams]

What shape does Delmon show up in?

He could be Barkley.

He could be Barkley.

Or Sandavol.

Young will sign elsewhere...and then....

Morse can't play there. Delmon and Cruz seem very similar to me. Defensively.

Yeah, I disagree with that. Cruz is not nearly as bad as he's made out to be. Young on the other is a disaster out there imo.

Pillsbury Doughboy comes to mind.

Ok. I accept your opinion.

I hear minor league contracts with spring training invites are rather motivating.

When your competion starts out to be Jack Cust? You betcha!

I'm going to guess that if:

a) Duquette or some other Orioles rep has seen Delmon lately, and

b) They're in talks about resigning him

...that Delmon is in at least fair baseball shape.

I like Delmon and I would be willing to go for two. If only for this...arguably the most important base hit in the last 15 years of Orioles baseball. Pay the man!!

Jimmy Paredes had one of he biggest hits of the year in that first game of the DH with the Yanks when things were still fairly tight. He probably doesn't even make the team. Delmon did a nice job. Let's not go crazy. One year.

No comparison to winning the second game of the ALDS. Zero. Plus Delmon actually can hit. Unlike Paredes.

You said we should reward him "if only for this hit". Before last year, Young hadn't hit in about 4 years. Don't get used to it. No problem if he wants to sign on for another year as a reserve/PH.

Yeah, that was my own enthusiasm at being there that day, no doubt. I am positive that DD has a better plan and that would be fine, but I am OK with Delmon getting DH at bats in 2015 and 16. I think he could still continue to improve in that role.

Yeah - Young should not be an everyday player but he's proven to be a good bench bat.

Starter: .282/.315/.423, .739 OPS

Sub: .338/.400/.481, .881 OPS (85 PA)

He appears to be very good at taking advantage of certain pitchers.

The agent for Delmon Young indicated today that the veteran outfielder isn't close to making a decision on where to sign, but he said the Orioles "absolutely" remain in play.

Yeah, I'm strongly in favor of signing Delmon as our DH/occasional left fielder. And I think Dd should give him that second year. Here's why. Young loves to hit in Camden Yards. He has a career ops of.823 and an OBP of .358. He's still relatively young having just turned 29 this September.
