2015 Stats: 140 games, .252/.320/.453, 14 HR, 42 RBI, 1.5 WAR
Chris Young‘s skill set reminds me of a football highlight on a sideline in which Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher gets in the face of one his defensive players and states with conviction “Rush The Quarterback”. Red Sox manager John Farrell could have a similar conversation with Chris Young saying “Mash Lefthanded Pitchers”.
In 2015, Young had a resurgence for the New York Yankees, pounding 14 homers while posting a .773 OPS, his best since 2010 with the Arizona Diamondbacks when he was an All-Star.
