In 2010 only 7 players had more RBI than DY did. In 2009 only 8 players topped 112 RBI. In 2008 he would have tied for 13th. No matter the team, no matter the player, it is a tough mark to reach. The RBI total, for me is moot though, Delmon could have a significantly better season and not drive in 112. If the other guys in the lineup are doing their job (and Morneau is healhty) we should expect Young's RBI total to drop, while the team's overall scoring should increase.
