MIAMI — Free agent outfielder Delmon Young was arrested after he choked and threatened a parking attendant at a Miami hotel Sunday night, police said. Young, a 30-year-old who appeared in 52 games for the Baltimore Orioles last year, grabbed the attendant’s neck and called him a “stupid Cuban,” according to an arrest report. The attendant told police he had…

Hey guys! The MLB postseason started in earnest last night. (Game 163 between the Rays and Rangers doesn’t count, since you can still use it to pad your regular season stats, for reasons I will never understand.) The Pirates beat the Reds in the Wild Card game, and good for them, having not played in October in 21 years and…

The Philadelphia Phillies released right fielder Delmon Young this evening after he refused to accept an assignment with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. It’s safe to say Young’s time in Philly was not very memorable — at least for any real positive reasons. He appeared in 80 games as a Phillie before being DFA’d to get more PT for Darrin...

WASHINGTON — Ruben Amaro Jr. made it quite clear why he let Delmon Young go on Friday. “He was great in the clubhouse, better than I thought he would be,” Amaro said. “I’ve got nothing but positive things to say about him. Other than that, I don’t think he performed consistently enough to warrant being on the club and...

If you’re leaving work today and a total stranger comes up and gives you a big kiss seemingly out of nowhere, now you’ll know why. In advance of tonight’s game against the Washington Nationals, the Phillies have designated Delmon Young for assignment, cutting ties with the ne’er do well right fielder after 80 games in the Red and White....

Despite the rebuild-at-all-costs strategy supported, implicitly or explicitly, by many Phillies fans as the 2013 trade deadline approaches, I have a great deal of ambivalence about the idea of trading Chase Utley or Cliff Lee. If you can get back an absolutely dynamite set of prospects for either, I guess you have to, but as many have reminded, we traded…

If you were watching the Phillies win over the Nationals on Saturday night, you likely turned to the person sitting next to you and asked “wait, did Delmon Young really only get a single out of that ball he ripped down the line?” in the eighth inning. You can watch the go-ahead RBI single here. While Delmon stopped first base,…

Two days ago people were calling for an end to the Delmon Young experiment, or at least for Charlie to sit the guy down for a few days anyway. Now all of a sudden he’s a five-tool player, hitting bombs, tearing up the base paths, and patrolling the outfield. Young was a big reason why the Phillies were able...

I’m not going to though. Not yet at least. Granted, I don’t watch a ton of American League baseball and I’m not going to pretend to know how bad bad is, but it’s not like the Phillies have never had awful defensive outfielders in the past. And sure, just because Delmon has made some of the more hilariously awful...

Guest post by Matt Hammond The Delmon Young experiment is off to a good enough start. He went yard in his first at-bat as a Phillie, a solo shot in the second inning of his first start off the DL, the same day he’d been activated, hours before his new club’s disastrous 14-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians last...
