Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young went 3-for-4 with two runs scored to snap an 0-for-18 skid in Monday’s win over the Pirates.

July 29, 2008

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Chris Young struck out two more times on Monday, bringing his season total to 107, which is a major contributor to his .239 average. His lack of steals (eight) might be even more disappointing.

BOTTOM LINE:Those that were encouraged by the youngster have probably fled to other options at this point, and I can’t say that I blame you. Young is no longer a viable fantasy option, especially the way his average stands.
