Great Chris Young radio interview on Jim Rome

Chris Young did a radio interview today on the Jim Rome Show, and

Some notes from the interview:

  • On the subject of Justin Upton, Chris says he calls Upton Ken Griffey III
  • He says he's happy to be hitting leadoff, even with the power numbers he puts up. Rome said he thought Young should be further down in the order. I disagree. I think the leadoff spot suits him just right, and that he probably wouldn't hit as many homers from a traditional power slot in the lineup.
  • Young wasn't a starting player in high school until his senior year. Wow...I would not have guessed that was the case. He is such a good all-around athlete...and those are the guys that normally start three sports in high school.
