Dmitri Young?

Da Meat Hook had a minor league deal this season, and is available. Is he worth the risk, or with Ward on the roster, is he just superfluous?

 

Maybe it was just one last gasp before flaming out, and at 35, I doubt that he will repeat his numbers fromt his season, though his power numbers should increase with a new home park. A switch hitting, backup 1B with the ability (though that word may be a bit of a stretch) to play 3B and perhaps still a corner OF spot could be a nice addition.

 

Depending on other moves, I think it's at least a question worth asking.

Young signed a 2/10 extension in July.

Even if he didn't just resign I'd ask if you've been smoking crack... Fluke career year at age 35, dear god no.

Not that I'm lobbying for the Cubs to sign him, but how can you say that an .869 OPS is a fluke season for him? That's not even his career best (he put up a .909 OPS in 2003). On top of that, he's not 35...he turns 34 next week.

Yeah, I need to correct that character flaw.

 

Just noticed your new avatar. Got to see Joe Williams wrestle a couple times in college when Purdue took on Iowa. That guy was unstoppable.

Looks like he wants to lose weight to control his diabetes and play the OF.
