I normally like to post about the great players and great talents, but I'm sitting here watching the Rangers and had to take a minute to appreciate Michael Young. You recall that he was forced out of his position for the 3rd time in his career this off season and openly shopped. He was mad about it, but reported to camp and squelched all talk of it. True to his word Ron Washington has kept him in the lineup in various positions and Young has delivered a fantastic year. Entering tonight hitting .336, 34 pts above his solid career avg of .302 and a robust .382 with runners in scoring position. On pace for 45 doubles and 90 RBI like we always expected of Young. Next week he will get his 2,000th hit in just his 11th full-time season. If you can't like Michael Young, you can't like anyone.

I really wish he was two years younger and would have a chance at 3000 hits.
The versatility of Young has been incredible to me.
