Phillies Acquire Michael Young

With Third Base Michael Young coming to a close in Texas, the Philadelphia Phillies picked him right up by trading right-hander Josh Lindblom, and minor leaguer Lisalverto Bonilla. At age 36, Michael Young is still trying to keep his pace as a great hitter. Last season wasn't as spectacular as we all thought it would be, but a .277 average is still good. However, his power numbers are slumping as he only hit a mere 8 mad-bombers in the 2012 season. Young has about 2 years to prove himself in Philly, if he doesn't then he pretty much is open to any club as a utillity/bench player.
