“After Michael Young expressed frustration last offseason over being asked to change positions, yet again, fans expressed about a million different opinions about him. Some said he was a great player, while other called him overrated, mostly due to his perceived bad attitude, poor defense, and pedestrian walk rate. Well, lucky for you, those things don't count in a 5x5 league! Young will always have a great AVG in a hitter's park, with a great lineup and tremendous position eligibility.” @timcyoung , Feb 14th |

“Speaking of old farts in the top 10, here is a spry 35 year old in the top 10 of about 13 different positions. Maybe he could pull a Chad Johnson and change his name to Michael Old. Enough of that nonsense, regardless of age, this guy can hit. Can he hit at the .340 clip he did a year ago? I'd say no. but .310 isn't anything to shake a stick at. He's hits for enough power and drives in enough runs to make him more than just a BA guy. If he can steal 8-10 bases, then he's fantasy gold. Michael Young will be on my team. I love guys that can play 3-4 positions, and he doesn't hurt you at any of them.” @tofantasysports, Mar 5th |

“Young is a great batting average guy with some pop. If he did not have the Texas Ranger lineup his RBI total would probably be south of 100. But he does, so he is a 20-100 candidate with a .300 batting average once again.” @Muntradamus, Mar 11th |
