With all the power that the Rangers’ line-up boasts, Michael Young is the catalyst. Always a consistent hitter, Young sported is highest average (.322) and home run total (22) since 2005. His RBI took a big dip mainly because he was moved from third to second in the order. Young is always undervalued in drafts for some unknown reason, so he should be able to be taken at a discount. It seems like he’s been around forever, but he’s only 33 and should still have another year of top-tier play left in him. .310-90-18-70-8 in 580 AB

Positives / Upside	Young provides an elite batting average and above average totals in all other categories. With the shallow talent pool at third base, Young could be an excellent compromise in the middle rounds. .320-95-20-75-10 in 610 AB
Negatives / Downside	Young lost RBI moving to the #2 hole in batting order. He is now 33 and could start losing is power and speed. .290-80-13-60-5 in 530 AB
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	98
