Dmitri Young recently made some comments about how he was treated last year and Jim Leyland didn’t waste much time in firing back.  Leyland took responsibility for Young’s release and also said that Young’s arguments were out of line.

You could see it coming last year though.  Young started hitting the ball out of the gate but then really tapered off.  You figure if the bat wasn’t there, he’d be on a short leash and that ran out.  It does look like he has a solid shot at making the Nationals though, with Nick Johnson still injured.
