I still have him as #33; I certainly don't think he's terrible - just terribly overrated. His strikeouts help him a lot and without them he would be nothing more than average... or worse.<BR/><BR/>As far as his home/road splits, you are absolutely correct. He got lucky at home, but he got incredibly lucky on the road. Young had a .240 BABIP at Home and .176 BABIP on the Road, which helps explain his 2.41 Road ERA. He also gave up 8 fewer HRs on the Road, so that contributes as well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your insight.Derek Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051667211745800764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799143440468005168.post-56262007378401724312007-03-23T09:26:00.000-05:002007-03-23T09:26:00.000-05:00Thanks for the alert.

I agree that he's not likely to be as good this year, but he should still be worth something. I picked him up last year for three reasons.<BR/><BR/>1. He was moving from AL to NL.<BR/>2. He had good strikeouts, and<BR/>3. He was going to be pitching in SD, so at least I could use him for his home games if not for more.<BR/><BR/>He is still has all 3 factors going for him and should be decent this year.<BR/><BR/>One addtional note of caution. Look at his home/road split from last year. He was much better on the road. Why was that? Was all his luck on the road?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
