The Detroit Tigers sign outfielder Matt Young
The Tigers have signed 29-year old lefty swinging outfielder Matt Young to a minor league deal. Young played in 20 games for the Braves in his first taste of the majors last year and he was 10 for 48 (.208 avg, .498 OPS) with 4 runs scored and 1 RBI. He also played in 99 games in AAA-ball last year and he was 100 for 366 (.273 avg, .719 OPS) with 64 runs scored, 1 homer, 24 RBIs and 17 stolen bases. Young will probably start the 2012 season in the minors, but he could surface with them at some point this year.
