Young Jr. reportedly agrees to Minor League deal

The elder Eric Young was a productive player for a poor Brewers team in 2002 before being traded to the Giants in August '03. His son was a 30th-round Draft pick of the Rockies that same year, and he debuted in the big leagues in '09. Young Jr.'s most productive season was '13, when he led the National League with 46 stolen bases while playing a career-high 148 games for the Rockies and Mets.

In 1,683 career plate appearances, Young Jr. owns a .247/.314/.328 slash line, with 144 steals in 179 attempts. He has made 200 Major League starts in left field, 48 in center, 34 in right, and 46 at second base.
