Michael Young has just renewed his contract with the Rangers, signing a deal worth 80 million dollars over the next five years. The Rangers will pick up his five million dollar option, then pay him 16 million a year from 2009-2013.
I mention this because it looks like the Dodgers are going to have some middle infield issues in the coming years, and Young was the best available option. This leaves Carlos Guillen, Marcus Giles, Rafael Furcal as the only worthwhile middle infielders that will enter free agency over the next couple years.
