SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Ranger fan Ben, a frequent reader of this blog, emailed recently that it seemed like we hadn't heard much about Michael Young this spring. Well, that's a good sign. It means Young is going about his business. I talked to him briefly about his spring and how he's preparing for the 2010 season.

Q: How would you desribe your spring?

A: Busy. I haven't been adjusting to a new position like last year, but it's been very active. There are still things I know I have to do to be ready and I'm in the process of doing that. For me, that's about getting reps. I want to get at-bats, work on some things and feel comfortable.

Q: Do you want to have certain results or does that matter?

A: I don't worry about numbers. For me, it's all about feel. How do I feel at the plate? If I go 0-for-4, but I hit some line drives and am squaring the ball up, I don't change anything. If I go 3-for-4, but it's some bleeders or bloops, I have to change something because that's not going to work the next day. So I get my at-bats and go by feel to figure out where I am.

Q: What about your health? How do you feel physically?

A: I feel great. That's another part of spring training is making sure your body is ready. You also want to leave here healthy. That hasn't been an issue for me at spring training. I feel good and will just keep working.
