The Dodgers use a mix of Mark Ellis, Nick Punto, and Skip Schumaker at the keystone position, but none arguably offer what Young does with the bat. He played second base primarily early in his career with the Rangers, so it will be a matter of refreshing on the footwork mostly for the veteran.","date":"Fri Sep 20"},"fullName":"Michael Young","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After 12 years in Texas, Young moves to the Senior Circuit where he will return full time to the hot corner after serving as a utility man for the Rangers the past couple of seasons. He takes with him an excellent contact rate that has actually improved the past couple of seasons. However, Young's already middling power is rapidly declining and not likely to recover. Not only is Young's ground ball rate more than 50 percent, but contrary to popular belief, Citizens Bank Park depresses right-handed power while Young's old digs embellished it. Young can still be an asset in batting average, but his other production is waning to the point that the veteran is at best a late-game corner man or reserve. The exception is in point leagues, in which Young's lack of strikeouts gives him some sneaky value.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.4,"playerRater15DAY":-1.7,"positionRank":25}
