BA had him at #6 in the White Sox system last year(they havent gotten to the
WSyet this year). Here is their write-up:
Background: A star at national high school power Bellaire, Young lasted until
the 16th round of the 2001 draft because he was rail-thin. He signed late that
summer and spent two years in Rookie ball before making his full-season debut
in 2004. He was inconsistent but his final numbers were proof he’s worth the
effort that will be required to smooth out his rough edges.
Strengths: While Young still hasn’t bulked up, he’s extremely strong and has
nearly as much raw power as anyone in the system. He uses his top-of-the-line
speed to turn singles into doubles and to put pressure on pitchers. Some White
Sox officials already consider him a major league-caliber center fielder.
Weaknesses: Young often gets overly aggressive at the plate, exacerbating his
difficulties at making contact. He has struck out in 27 percent of his pro
at-bats and must reduce that number to make better use of his speed and power.
His arm strength is below average.
The Future: Ticketed for high Class A, Young is somewhat reminiscent of former
White Sox farmhand Mike Cameron. Chicago would love to see him reach the majors
in 2007.
