We're not paying Eric Young $24MM guaranteed over the course of the next three years.
Seeing whether or not Maybin can produce is much more imperative than trying to ascertain whether or not EY is a better player (hint: he isn't).
BTW, I should add: I like Eric Young a lot -- his brand of baseball, his skillset, etc., so I hope he is given a lot of playing time on the corners.
I agree wholeheartedly with that EY disclaimer. I like the guy too. He's a good guy to have on the team, I love the speed, and I think he should get some reps. I just don't think you should be the every day starter in CF.
