Don't agree at all. You actually want the guy to play in 13 games LESS than he did last year??? Sheesh.
Give him: 1) 120 games at C with Torrealba getting the other 42, 2) 20 games at DH with Young resting someone at 1B/2B/3B/LF those days (or given an off day himself) and 3) 5 games at 1B resting hopefully Fielder. The rest he will be given off full days. I say give him 145 games of 162 if he stays healthy.
That is roughly 75% of his games played at C, which is less than I initially wanted, but having thought about it, would be fine with Young's ability to move around. He is just too good after finally turning a corner here in TX. Play the man.
