26-year old righty swinging Chris Young had a terrible year for the D-Backs last season. He played in 134 games for the Diamondbacks last season and he was 92 of 433 (.212 avg, .711 OPS) with 54 runs scored, 15 homers, 42 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. Young whiffed 133 times last season which if he keeps whiffing at that pace it would be a miracle if he could hit .250. If Young could hit .250 he would be a huge asset to the D-Backs because he has the talent to be a 30/30 man if he made contact with the ball more often. Young made 2 errors in 124 games in CF last season while showing slightly below average range. Young has a decent throwing arm from CF as he had 3 assists last season.

22-year old lefty swinging Gerardo Parra is Young’s main competition for his starting job in 2010. Parra played in 43 games in CF for the D-Backs last season and he made 3 errors while showing slightly below average range. He, like Young, had 3 assists in CF last season.
