| July 29, 2008 Chris Young has never been able to overcome Chris Young. That is not a philosophical statement, just a reflection of the fact that the Arizona outfielder is 0-for-12 in his career against the Padres pitcher of the same name who he is facing tonight. |

| June 24, 2008 Chris Young, who is stuck in a hitting slump, is trying to work on his weaknesses with a different approach, according to the Arizona Republic.

| June 18, 2008 The Diamondbacks pushed 15 hits for 11 runs tonight in beating up on the Oakland A's, a surge enhanced by the efforts of outfielder Chris Young . Young went 2-for-4 on the night with his 18th double and his 13th homer of the season, totaling three RBIs and two runs scored. |

| April 21, 2008 Chris Young was unable to play on Sunday due to an upper respiratory infection, the Arizona Republic reports. |
| April 9, 2008 Chris Young is off to a favorable start as he generated four homers,six RBI, and two stolen bases, but he co-leads the MLB with 12 strikeouts (with Bill Hall), and his average sits at .212 over 33 at-bats. Young remains one of the hottest young sluggers in baseball, and his average should climb up soon enough. |
| April 8, 2008 The details have come in on Chris Young's contract extension. It is for $28 million over five years, and the D'Backs hold a $11 million option with a $1.5 million buyout for 2014, according to the AP. Young is off to a nice start this year, with four homers and two steals in the first seven games. |
| April 7, 2008 Chris Young continued with his torrid pace on Monday night as he blasted his fourth home run of the early season. Young also had another hit, two runs scored and two RBI on the evening as his averaged moved up to .259. HR and SB should be come in abundance with Young this year but he will be a fantasy stud only if he can get that batting average up as he currently possesses a .239 batting average in 666 career AB. |
| April 7, 2008 Chris Young and the Diamondbacks agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension on Monday, MLB.com reports. The deal will lock up the young outfielder through 2013. Terms were not disclosed, and the team will formally announce the contract on Tuesday. |
| April 7, 2008 Chris Young and the Diamondbacks have been discussing a long-term deal and are close to terms, the Arizona Republic reports. He is expected to receive less than the six-year, $30 million contract signed by Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. |
| April 5, 2008 Chris Young socked two home runs on Saturday night to help lead the D'backs to a 7-2 victory over the Rockies. Young has three home runs and two SB in five games this season though he is also hitting only .263 with nine K in five games. The home runs and steals are fantastic and figure to be there all year, though if he keeps striking out at this rate he will be lucky to hit even .250. |
| April 3, 2008 Chris Young whiffed four times against Cincinnati on Thursday, just one day after drawing a career high three walks. He will bounce back and remains one of the most exciting young outfielders in the league. |
| April 3, 2008 Chris Young has drawn a career high three walks against Cincinnati on Wednesday, according to the Arizona Republic. After the game Young stated, "I'm getting more comfortable up there, getting a little more patient up there. I'm choosing my times when I want to be aggressive." The rising star is off to a strong start. |
| April 2, 2008 Chris Young was 1-for-2 on Wednesday while he scored twice, walked three times and stole a base. About the only part of Young's offensive game that is a real negative is his ability to control the strike zone, so if he can coax a few more walks, while cutting down on his strikeouts, he would certainly have a great shot at going 30/30 this season. |
| March 31, 2008 Chris Young, who set an Arizona club rookie record with 32 homers last season, hit a solo shot into the upper deck of left field in the third inning as the Diamondbacks beat Cincinnati 4-2 on Monday. Young was highly touted by fantasy outlets this winter and drafted as such in most formats. |
| March 20, 2008 Chris Young had three hits on Thursday in a 8-7 loss to the Rangers. One of Young's hits was a towering solo home run to lead off the ninth. The Arizona outfielder is being drafted this summer like he was a five time veteran All Star. Young's upside is over-the-top, but his small sample and lack of plate discipline is concerning. |
| March 20, 2008 Chris Young enjoyed a breakout season in 2007, but he wants to be even better in 2008, according to MLB.com. Young commented, "This year, I've got to stay off that nasty stuff they throw me on the outside that I've been swinging at. I'm sure anyone would like to have a better on-base percentage. Getting on base is important, because I know the more I get on base, the more I can steal, the more I can make an impact on a game, and that's what I plan on doing. I've got to work on getting better jumps on the bases. Baserunning is something I want to make a huge improvement on. want to be more consistent out there," he said. I'd also like to be more aggressive defensively." Sounds like Young is primed for a strong follow-up to 2007. |
