Padres re-sign Young

Eric Young agreed to a $700,000 US, one-year contract with the San Diego Padres on Monday, two weeks after the team declined to exercise the utilityman's option for next year.
The Padres declined Young's $850,000 option on Nov. 8, giving him a $150,000 buyout, which the sides took into account when negotiating his new deal.
The 38-year-old Young hit .275 last season with two homers, nine doubles, seven steals and 22 runs in 56 games. He can start earning performance bonuses at 200 plate appearances.
Young made 10 starts at second base and 22 in the outfield.
He missed nearly three months after dislocating his right shoulder making a catch against the centre-field fence in the Padres' home opener against Pittsburgh on April 7.
