Delmon Young has over 150 AB's with ZERO hr's and only 4 extra base hits.
Never thought he'd struggle like this though.....but it is early

Of the Flawed Five, Gomez is easily the best, and Young easily the biggest disappointment.
Through 40 games, Young has amassed 152 at-bats, batting .263. He has produced four extra-base hits, none of them home runs.
This is a strange phenomenon -- a big, strong player with impressive bat speed whose career will be judged on his power and run production, swinging like a tennis player attempting a drop shot.
