Padres' Young gets $14.5 million, four-year contract

[JoseA]

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- At 6-foot-10 and Princeton-educated, Chris Young would stand out in any crowd.

The 27-year-old right-hander has impressed the San Diego Padres enough to earn a $14.5 million, four-year contract that would be worth $23 million if the team exercises a 2011 option.

The new deal was announced Tuesday, about 12 hours after Young beat Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants 1-0 at Petco Park.

Decent signing, I think Chris Young is going to be a pretty good pitcher for the next few years. He is huge, he should be a basketball player! He did a pretty good job last season and he started this season off good, so I like this signing....
