Michael Young’s top 10.


Jamey Newberg of The Athletic asked Michael Young to name the ten greatest players he ever played against.

His list:

10. Roberto Alomar—the guy could do it all.

9. Albert Pujols—best hitter in baseball for a decade.

8. Ichiro—Young had a higher OPS, in fact.

7. Chipper Jones—too bad he was in the NL.

6. Derek Jeter—Why did he have to be a Yankee?

5. Vladimir Guerrero—One-man Rangers wrecking crew.

4. Alex Rodriguez—Syringe and all.

3. Miguel Cabrera—The man could hit.

2. Mike Trout—Might end up being best ever.

1. Barry Bonds—What a shame.
