Gardy on Delmon

We already that Delmon Young is to outfield defense what someone who can’t do something very well is to that thing that he or she cannot do very well. But now that Mr. Young has spent the offseason repeatedly lifting heavy objects over his head and growing large beach muscles, will his glovecraft reach new depths? Maybe!

On the other hand, Young actually shed pounds last offseason, and one might wonder whether that helped his fly-catching in 2010. With the answer — and the quote of the day — is Young’s manager, Ron Gardenhire:

“We thought that he was running faster, but that just meant that he was chasing the balls he missed faster.”

Thou hast been zinged!
