Top 25 Under 25 In 25: #20


20. Delmon Young, OF, Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Sure Delmon is only hitting .239/.281/.378, and yes he doesn't possess the greatest plate discipline, but he still has the overall skills package to become a superstar. Usually his lack of control over the strike zone would be cause for concern, but he has the pure athleticism to make up for it. A classic 5 tool player, the former #1 overall pick is part of a glut of young talent in the Tampa outfield-and he may be the best of all of them. Young should develop into a .280/.350/.450 type hitter, with the ability to hit 30 homers and steal 20 bases every season.

Perhaps....I talked to petey and he says that college ruined typing for him. So he doesn't want to type anymore which makes it hard to post.
