April 8, 200620 yr But he's getting close to coming back from a broken bone in his hand. Young, who's recovering from a broken bone in his right hand, is close to being ready for the majors. He'll stay in center for now.
April 8, 200620 yr With the D-Backs moving Justin Upton to CF, it looks like Young will be their CF'er until Upton is ready. Then when Upton is ready, they will probably trade Young for pitching.

No, they officially announced they were going to move Upton to the OF. However, I disagree with everyone. Upton has not proven he's more talented than Chris Young. I realize Upton has a lot of tools, but Young is about as talented as it gets at the Minor league level. We'll see how that transcends to the major league. Plus I'm hard pressed to see someone come in and play better defensively. The Dbacks have 4 damn good OF prospects (including Upton, Young, Gonzalez, and Quentin) and my guess is at least one of them won't pan out, so they really don't have anything to worry about in terms of positions.

Right on Justin Upton is 4th on OF depth chart. You are also right that at least one will not pan out. Also remeber that Justin is 18 and starting the season at Low A South Bend. Young and Quentin are in Tucson and Gonzalez in Lancaster.
