Scouting Report

Assets:	Is lightning fast and extremely aggressive as a base-stealer. Is also patient at the plate and knows how to get on base. Displays some pop in his bat. Is versatile enough to play several different positions.
Flaws:	Strikes out a bit too much for someone with his speed. Still honing his skills as a baserunner, he can lose concentration at times. Would benefit by developing his situational hitting to drive in more runs.
Career Potential:	Versatile, base-stealing utility man.

Player News

Young shows off the power against the Cubs | 05/15/2013 12:04 AM

News

Eric Young Jr. doubled and homered Tuesday as the Rockies beat the Cubs.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

The home run, Young's first, drove in two runs and he also scored twice on the night. The outfielder has been seeing everyday at-bats with Michael Cuddyer on the disabled list, and manager Walt Weiss has used him primarily as the team's leadoff hitter. He won't be a source of much power, but he's got speed to burn and the Rockies can mash behind him. There are worse options for stolen bases.

Eric Young goes 3-for-5 in Rockies' win | 04/16/2013 8:27 PM

News

Eric Young Jr. went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a steal as the Rockies beat the Mets 8-4 in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Young got the start in center with Dexter Fowler hobbled and made the most of it. The speedster had been 0-for-2 stealing bases this year before swiping third today. And one can't blame John Buck for that one; the Mets infield was shifted over with Carlos Gonzalez up and David Wright didn't even try to cover third base on the play.

Eric Young Jr. to be used as super-utility | 02/15/2013 9:02 PM

News

Rockies manager Walt Weiss announced Friday that he envisions Eric Young Jr. as a super-utility player for the Rockies in 2013.

Rockies.MLB.com

Impact

Weiss has publicly stated that he wants his team to be more versatile and more aggressive on the bases, and Young certainly fits both of those molds. He'll likely see time at second base, third base and in the outfield, and should accumulate enough at-bats to swipe at least 20 bases, making him relevant in most deep mixed leagues.
