Jared Young Deserves His Own Thread

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lefty wearing 29 reminds me of Ike Davis a little but Young to me is more of a modern-day Kelvin Torve. What do you think?

[Fman99]

He's from Canada, so they think he's slow, eh?



Seems like an easy guy to root for. Been watching him play here in Syracuse and seemed to have figured out that level at least (.877 OPS across 97 plate appearances). Go get em kid

Jared got some big cheers at the game Tuesday after his HR

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

He hit that one hard.



Torve was from South Dakota, which is like Canada I think.



Here's something: Prince George is one of Canada's most dangerous cities with organized crime, drugs and a high murder rate.

When he was in AAA this year, there were articles about him in Metsmerized and Amazin' Avenue which noted that he was working hard to get back to the majors. So, I checked to see how he had done in his brief ML stint.

In his two years with the Cubs, his slash line was .208/.288/.458/.746.

But in his 2023 AAA year, it was .310/.417/.577/.995 with 21 HR, so I'm encouraged.

He is more than from Canada. PG is a crossroads in the wilderness, more than eight hours north of Vancouver.



Imma guess that only perhaps Belfast-bred P.J. Conlon qualifies as a Met born further north in latitude. Also pretty dangerous territory, as it turns out.

Many go to the KBO and successfully reboot their careers



Our favorite Doosan Bear Jared Young



Chris Flexen some solid success after returning

[Cowtipper]

I think Jared Young needs to be deported back to Syracuse.



This guy sux.
