Despite entering the season at age-36, Michael Young believes that he can improve upon his defensive range at third base this season. He believes that he has discovered a flaw, that he was too high in his setup, causing his first step to be far too slow. While a more explosive first step will help him in the field, the Phillies will need him to step up and deliver solid run production in the middle of the lineup if they plan on competing in the National League East.
