According to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com the Mets are “closing in on a deal” with right-hander Chris Young, who missed most of last season with a shoulder injury.
New York has been linked to Young throughout the offseason as new general manager Sandy Alderson and company targeted him as a worthwhile reclamation project who could potentially give the Mets an expensive veteran middle-of-the-rotation starter if healthy.
Young has a 3.80 ERA in 752 career innings, but the 32-year-old has never thrown even 180 innings in a season and hasn’t been healthy and effective since 2007. Despite his 6-foot-10 frame and solid career numbers Young has always been a soft-tosser, but his average fastball velocity was just 84.7 miles per hour last season and 85.8 mph in 2009.

FYI, you linked to Chris Young of the Diamondbacks. Not the same guy.
And while he may not throw very hard he still strikes out almost 8 per 9IP. That’s pretty good. Good luck to him, I enjoy watching him pitch and enjoyed having him on my fantasy team a few years ago.
