October 15, 2008 The Twins may talk to the Giants about trading Delmon Young, according to the Pioneer Press.
Our View:Young hit .290 this season, but failed to provide much power with only 10 homers. He only notched 69 RBI as well. This story is speculation by the Pioneer Press, but it would seem reasonable to trade Young as the Twins will have a deep and talented outfield for 2009.
September 16, 2008 Delmon Young is having trouble with his sore right ankle, and it is possible he may need surgery after the season, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Our View:Young had three hits on Monday, so he can still swing the bat. Still, fantasy owners should be cognizant of the fact that he may see a day off in the upcoming weeks.
September 5, 2008 Delmon Young returned to the Twins' lineup Thursday after missing Wednesday due to a sore right ankle, according to the Star Tribune.
Our View:He will be able to continue playing, but will have to favor his ankle for a while. That decreases his fantasy value as he has actually been more productive in the speed department (14 steals) than the power department (only eight homers) this season.
September 4, 2008 Delmon Young was out of the Twins lineup on Wednesday because of a sore left ankle, though the injury is not considered serious, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Our View:Young could have probably played, and should be ready to go soon. He continues to put up solid but unspectacular numbers for fantasy owners, who would like to see his power develop a little more next year.
August 19, 2008 Delmon Young is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals. He turned an ankle on Monday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune notes. Jason Kubel got the call in left field.
Our View:Young is day-to-day and could be back as soon as Wednesday night.
