Pirates general manager Neal Huntington indicated Thursday that Delwyn Young will work in a utility role next season.
Young picked up a good amount of starts at second base in '09 after Freddy Sanchez was dealt to the Giants. But the Bucs picked up Akinori Iwamura last week, pushing Young back into a utility role heading into next season. "We do still think he can be more than just a role player," Huntington said after the deal. "But for us, right now, he is a role player - and a very good one." |
