| Delmon Young, Too Young? |

I was pretty excited when Delmon Young was traded to the Minnesota Twins. To name a few things that should make anyone excited about the trade, his strong arm in right, potential for some over-due offense for the Twins, and his youth. Though it's his youth that also has me worried. Recently I read (in the Twins Insider blog ) that Young “just wanted to play everyday.” He mentions that he wouldn't mind DHing, or even playing first base, as long as he gets to play everyday. The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was, what an ego on that guy. The second thing that came to mind was the 50 game suspension that didn't bode well for his “playing everyday.”
So, with his rep from the minors (the bat flinging - youtube video- and other disagreements with umpires), and a few comments I've seen from him recently (seemingly self centered and all), I hope he matures a bit, and makes it through the season without incident.
