Phillies' deal for Young in his hands

This move will help the Phillies get younger.

Some times you have to admit you need to move on. Approve the deal dude.

He's been getting closer and closer to being gone over the last three years. Maybe Philly would be good for him.

The Phillie don't need to get younger next year, they need to win. After 2014 they need to rebuild the whole thing. While youth would be nice, they have no thirdbaseman at all so Michael Young will fit very nicely, thank you. He'd look pretty good in the 5 hole behind Utley and Howard.

Younger but not better.

The best way to build a team is through the farm system. It also is much cheaper.

Well it won't help them get younger since Michael Young is not young.

You want have a chance with the Phillies fans if you don't hit and we all now you cannot play defense anymore.

Twins fan here. Phillies fans are going to love Revere. Has improved leaps and bounds over the last 2 years.

Yes--and I think this is the last year on Young's contract, so they play him this year, maybe extend one more year, and that gives them time to get someone from either their farm or someone else's farm.

As a Braves fan, I wasn't pleased that they got Revere. He's like having Bourn without all the strikeouts and (soon to be) huge paycheck.

Hopefully they sign Young to even things out.

He hit like .320 the year before with over 200 hits, .300 career hitter, maybe last year was just a down year and not the beginning of the death spiral.

the phllies walking backwards, after so many players been traded last year now the phillies goes back in their own steps and get older,plus michael young should make a stiff desicion and most ask himself, what went wrong between rangers and him??

the good thing about young, he hit 200 hits in every season for the past 6 years, he may got older but gain alot experience at the plate or didn't he??or this is the reason WHY he has been toss away?? a lack in production and a lack of discipline could lead you to the graveyard,,,

Young is in the twilight of his career.

There is more to building a team than age. No team ever won starting 9 rookies. The Quakers window is closing fast. They need to win RIGHT NOW. The Phils sell over 3,000,000 tickets every year, even more than the Yankees. In 2015 they must start to rebuild, maybe even in 2014.
