06/12: Dmitri Young
Posted by: Patrick
From Examiner.com:
Young is hitting .342 with a .410 OBA with 6 homers and 33 RBI in 57 games so far this season. These are well above his career numbers of .291 and .349. Defensively, he's played 403 games in left, 333 at first, 307 at DH, 102 in right and 54 at third.

The smart money would have Young ending up back in the American League where he could DH every day. The Yankees, who have lost first baseman Doug Mientkeiwicz and DH Jason Giambi to injury, are rumored to be trying to pry Mark Teixiera away from the Rangers, but Dmitri could be an attractive plan B. He’d cost less at the outset, and with Teixiera on the cusp of free agency — and stating publicly that playing for the Orioles would be “a dream come true” — might be a better short term investment.
