Rob Neyer on Michael Young

Rob Neyer weighs in on the Michael Young situation, and has some cogent thoughts:
This situation has become a perfect storm of foolishness. Two years ago, the Rangers offered Young a five-year, $80 million contract covering the 2009-2013 seasons. This was foolish for a number of reasons. One, he was already under club control through 2008. Two, 2013 was (and still is) a long time away. And three, Young simply didn't project as an $80 million player. Not when considering his age and his limitations as a fielder. It was foolish when they did it and we said it was foolish and yet there it was (and still is) anyway.Then came the biggest cherry on top in maybe the entire history of cherries on top: American League coaches and managers foolishly named Michael Young the best shortstop in the American League. Not an OK shortstop, nor a good shortstop. The best shortstop. This was also foolish when they did it (and we said it was foolish).
Add all this foolishness up and you may come to understand why Michael Young is upset.
* * *
I don't know who's primarily responsible for his contract. If general manager Jon Daniels thought this was a good idea, one might certainly question his judgment. If the contract has (as I suspect) owner Tom Hicks' fingerprints all over it, Daniels mostly deserves a pass (though a big part of a GM's job is convincing his bosses to avoid rank foolishness).

neyer has no idea whose 'fingerprints' is on this contract
and he should realize it wasn’t that SIMPLE of an answer when it came to extending MY. There were a lot more factors involved and he should go read through some of Jamey’s reports right after the extension to educate himself on the reasoning behind it…
Neyer is sounding like an absolute tool in that last paragraph…

The bottom line is
Locking in to a long term, over market contract to a player based on what he has done for you in the past is monumentally, unbelievably stupid. That this stupid franchise made that move isn’t at all surprising.
Its even more absurd of a move when you are becoming one of the low budget franchises.
Let’s face it, when it comes to the major league roster, JD has been pretty bad.

Well...
I do believe DJCahill and myself actually have room for agreement in this world.
I love the minor league system the Rangers have but it takes much more than that to build a consistent winning major league team. There are so many difficult decisions that GMs are required to make along the way.
Making the decision whether or not to extend MYoung when you have a small market payroll is a slam-dunk (you trade him JD) and it’s exactly why I’m more than a little pessimistic with JD having any input with this thing going forward.

No I dont think he sounds like a fool
You can make excuses about all the factors and complications involved but is the job of a GM and the responsibility of a smart owner to look past those and understand the long-term ramifications of such a substantial commitment. If the MY contract was acquiesced to under the pressure all of these ‘factors’ and without due consideration of what it does over the long haul, it only makes the front office look less competent.

well, i think that's where the bonus and deferred money comes in
i don’t think 5 years and a bout 60MM is THAT bad of a deal here on out. i mean, it’s kinda bad, but not as bad as some people make it out to be, but i think that is the case because people like Olney and Neyer think that there is 80MM left not 60MM…i wish we could get clarification on this from someone on the Rangers…
Okay, PECOTA has him for about 35MM for the next 5 years…60 is bad, but not 80 BAD.

I dont think that mitigates it much
Its like saying that because we have 0 years/0 mil left on the second Gonzo deal it wasnt a bad deal. At the time it was signed we agreed to pay MY 80 mil for 5 years of service. I just dont see how you can think that as anything but foolish. A lot of casual fans (probably even me and many LSBers included) were happy with it, but the front office is supposed to have a keener insight into things than the average fan.
I do think if its 5/60 then that changes the trade landscape for MY. But it doesnt mean the original contract wasnt in the very least naive and probably foolish.

i dont know if it was just that no one predicted MY having such a steep decline or that LSBers have gotten smarter – my guess is a little of both. But I think it just proves that the will of the fanbase isnt always right. Maybe JD felt like his hands were tied but eesh you have to hope he is shrewder about doling out extensions in the future.

No question that the deal was foolish.
I think where the debate is currently is that you have some of us saying the deal is not nearly the hinderance to a trade because there is only $60m left to actually be paid instead of $80m. It’s still not a great contract in terms of trade value, but it is certainly less onerous thanks to the bonus money already paid.

BaD Radio sucked in their description
of the MY situation.
they aren’t forcing MY to leave, they want him to play freakin’ 3B. MY requested to leave. And, why would the Rangers leak this story? That would be the worst thing since that lowers his trade value. Ridiculous. Morons

Next Topic for B&S
If MY is willing to move to 2B with another team, does this put pressure on Kinsler to say, ‘Hey, I’ll move to 3B to keep my buddy here’.
I say, heck no! MY doesn’t need to play anywhere in the middle (even though that’s where his bat fits). He needs to play 3B.

The Rangers don't want Young at 2B
because that means his contract is still on the payroll.

That's kind of what I've wondered
Young was a better secondbaseman than Kinsler is, and would probably be equivalent to Kinsler now, if not better. I wonder is they they considered moving Kinsler to third.

MY's last year as a 2B
he wasn’t very good. Still probably better than Kinsler, but still not much defensively.
Get off my lawn.
by DJCahill on Jan 12, 2009 3:36 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Hmm...
But Young has actually been good at second base at one point in his career, so there is the possibility that he could be a decent secondbaseman again. I’m not sure Kinsler has ever posted an above average season at second, although I could be mistaken.

What are Young's strengths as a fielder?
He has a strong arm and he does a good job of fielding what is hit near him. The arm thing goes down the crapper at 2B and you still suffer from the lack of range. Young wouldn’t be magically awesome at 2B if he played there again while he could be pretty good at 3B.

In 2007. . .
. . . Kinsler was 7 plays above average in +/-. And this season was about on par with Young’s last season at second.
Kinsler has a ton more range and is younger, to boot. I would much, much, much rather have Kinz at 2nd than MY.

you're not understanding
He doesn’t want to move Kinsler off of 2nd.
He wants to get traded.
He’s letting teams know that he’ll move to 2nd to facilitate the trade.
Besides, he knows that the Rangers aren’t going to consider moving Kinsler anyway

I know it’s not their plan A or B, but I’d have to think moving Kinsler to 3rd and Young to 2nd has at least crossed their minds, especially if Young continues to selfishly hold the line about moving to 3rd.

Well dropping his no trade clause for anyone would do a hell of a lot more
to help his cause of being traded. And if he’s saying he’s open to play 2B, does that mean that if the Rangers ask him to play 2B next year instead of SS, he’ll still refuse? What’s he going to say then, that he is only a SS for the Rangers but he’ll be a SS or a 2B for someone else?

Look,
I’m not MY so I don’t really know, but I think he brought up playing second base to create additional interest in him in the market. Now not knowing MY, I think it’s safe to say that if he had a choice he wants to play SS. If playing 2nd base gets him out of here, then he’ll do it. Otherwise, I don’t beleive would like playing 2nd any more than he would like palying 3rd for the Rangers.
The Rangers have hurt his little SS feelings, so he will not be happy unless he is gone or at the position with the Rangers.

That's not really crapping on him
but he is willing to move to 2B elsewhere and that puts pressure on Kinsler to try to volunteer moving to 3rd base which is pretty much the same thing Soriano did when he came here.
And Young has said that he isn’t moving for some prospect and has basically spit on the notion that Andrus can be worth anything.

- Team needing Young to move for a variety of reasons, I suspect a combination of Andrus and his shoddy defense.
- Young hearing he is being asked to move, assumes it is for Andrus.
- Young ripping Andrus to the media.
You end up with a player who feels he is being brushed aside for a AA prospect and doesn’t want to.

The Rangers are doing a good job here so far of not publicly trashing Young or doing anything that publicly hurts their relationship with Young. Young right now is the only one damaging his image and if he ends up changing his mind and plays 3B, he can recover from it.

“Obviously, Michael took issue with the word choice that I used, but I also wanted to put it honestly,” Daniels said. "Clearly this was the direction we felt we needed to go. Rather than sugarcoat it, I thought it was the best course of action to be honest and lay it out the way we wanted it to happen.
“I completely understand his sentiments, but I don’t agree with the term that we’re tearing his job away from him. If anything, we’re asking him to take on a more prominent role. Not necessarily moving from short to third — you can argue that either way. We’re asking him not only to play third base but also help a 20-year-old shortstop who could benefit from his experience and knowledge of the game. That’s a big reason why we think it will work.”

If the contract has (as I suspect) owner Tom Hicks’ fingerprints all over it, Daniels mostly deserves a pass (though a big part of a GM’s job is convincing his bosses to avoid rank foolishness).”
I'm just killing time until I'm reincarnated.
