The only problem with keeping a player just for his speed is that he has to get on base. Young hits so rarely that he usually gets on base only by replacing a player that just got a hit or a walk. I don’t think that’s fair. Speed is relative, and if a player’s speed is good enough to man a position for most of a game, than you are not gaining much by replacing him with speedy base runner. I think power on the bench for a late-inning hit wins more games than speed on the bench. Suppose inserting Young results in tying the score and not winning the game, then you have to play Young somewhere. Try to remember how many times that he has botched routine plays in the infield and how poorly he tracks balls in the outfield. In my mind, Young’s presence on the roster effectively gives the Rocks a 24-man roster. And I saw the opening night game; I saw how Young almost got thrown out stealing and then almost got picked off running.

Sorry I didn’t see this earlier than opening night. The thing I see is he has a skill that can actually turn games, which is speed. It’s good to have solid players on the bench who can fill in credibly when they start, but given the small number of starts I think it may be more important to have guys with a game-turning skill.

Comment on Hitting coach wants better mechanics from Fowler by keyjin

Tyler Colvin gets my vote. The old addage “you can’t steal first base” comes to mind with the other two players (Fowler & Young).

Can someone please explain to me why Eric Young Jr. and his limited skills are still on the roster, while Charlie Blackmon is on the bubble, and Seth Smith and Ryan Spillbourghs have been traded? Is somebody again trying to guarantee that the Rockies never have a chance? Are gamblers holding a gun to Jim Tracy’s head? Really, what is going on here? Can’t anybody who matters see that Young does not have major league talent and far less talent than players we keep giving away? Anybody remember Matt Holliday?
