Delmon Young Available?

According to Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

The Twins won't talk about it, but it's expected that Delmon Young, the left fielder they obtained from Tampa Bay before this past season, will be made available on the trade market.

It seems an odd time to shop Young, but moving him for a shortstop or third baseman might clear the way for an outfield of Michael Cuddyer, Carlos Gomez, and Denard Span.

Young, 23, hit .290/.336/.405 in 623 plate appearances. He made some progress in his walk rate, and at least slugged .448 after June 1st.
Young (see what I did there?), cheap, talented, and right handed.

He's not the kind of guy I'd want on a team as young and impressionable as this one. Though Baker does have a good deal of experience dealing with arrogant hot-heads.

He's a really lousy defender and I doubt he'll be cheap to acquire. They gave up a starting shortstop and a fellow named Garza while also throwing in a high leverage prospect arm to boot after all....
