Top Diamondback Prospect Breaks Hand

Chris Young will miss most of spring training, after her broke right hand while training in a Bradenton, Flordia gym. Young was apparently doing some agility drills, jumping up and down off boxes, when he lost his balance, tried to brace himself and broke his hand upon falling. Arizona GM Josh Byrens said: "Right now, we're looking at four to six weeks before he can return to play. He's going to miss his spring training at-bats, but I guess the only good news is that it happened now and not in season." Young is expected to be the Diamondback's starting center-fielder in 2007.
