As he matures, learns the league, gets past his anticipatory grief due to his mothers long battle with cancer, is given steady playing time and builds his confidence he will settle in and have a great career...he has too much desire and talent to fail. But you know all there is to know about a player just by observing their stats. Variables my friend - variables! So you know all there is to know about Delmon Young.

I don't think he needs to get rushed but he's made the biggest transition he's going to make short of the majors in going to AA this season. Unless he forgets how to hit a baseball, I see no reason why he isn't with the big club in 2011. It took Posada that long because Joe Torre will play a marginal to scrub veteran over a stud young kid any day of the week. If Piazza and V-Mart can be major league catchers with their gloves, so can Montero. The only thing that is keeping Montero in the minors now is his defense.

Matsui I think you have to let walk. I'd like Holliday, but goodness knows what it would take to sign him. No to Bay, who is apparently a very poor defender. Crawford's OBP scares me. I think this year may very well be an outlier. I like the D and the baserunning, but will he retain those as he ages? I’m fine with bringing Damon bafck for 1 year, maybe even 2 (option?).

It would be cheaper too. Or we could just trot out the same lineup next year as the one we have this year. It would be cheaper too.
