FORMER RED DMITRI YOUNG RETIRES FROM BASEBALL

"MEAT HOOK" CALLS IT QUITS

"
A meat hook is a two-sided hook normally used in butcheries to hang up meat or the carcasses of animals such as pigs and cattle on a moving conveyor line. There are many types of hooks, but meat hooks is the only one used in butchering." -Wikipedia

After thirteen major league seasons, competing with four different teams (St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Washington), Dmitri Young announced his retirement on Thursday. Young, 36, last saw major league action in 2008 with the Washington Nationals. He tore his hamstring during Spring training '09 and never made it back to the big leagues.

Dmitri Young was introduced on Thursday as the new Vice President and Senior Advisor of baseball operations for Diamond Heroes of Southeast Michigan, Inc., the owner of the Oakland County Cruisers Independent professional baseball club.

Dmitri Young was a two-time all-star ('03 and '07). He finished his career with a .292 average and 171 HRs. In 2006 Young was diagnosed as a diabetic. After signing with the Nationals in 2007 and playing with them the entire season, Young received the Player's Choice NL Comeback Player of the Year Award (.320BA, 123HR, and 74RBI). I don't know if it was Dmitri Young's bouncy head-first slides, monster home runs, or his overall humble demeanor; but I have always thought of him as one of my favorite Reds of all-time. Long live the "Meat Hook".

The Reds beat the Mariners by a final score of 6-2 on Friday. Opening Day starter Aaron Harang looked dandy pitching five innings allowing only one run and striking out six. Attempting to pose himself on the field for Opening Day, Drew Stubbs went 3-3 with an inside-the-park home run. Chris Heisey, Scott Rolen, and Laynce Nix all hit home runs in the Reds' victory. On Saturday, the Reds couldn't get it done against the Giants losing 6-0.
