Michael Young to the Cards?

Sure, I'm interested.

Michael Young http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/youngmi02.shtml says he won't waive his eight-team restriction on trades. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AtVeo96m2UeyMzYk3OW7IUY5nYcB?slug=ti-youngrangersfollow020711 The Cards are among those eight teams. Would they entertain getting him to move to 2B and then making Skip Schumaker http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/schumsk01.shtml part of what's traded back? But, as Steve Henson notes http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=sh-earlybirdcardinals020811 , even if the Rangers eat part of Young's contract, the Cards may be reluctant to do such a trade until they determine they can't sign Albert Pujols http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pujolal01.shtml

Ken Rosenthal has more on where Young-Rangers issues stand. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/michael-young-trade-request-situation-raises-questions-for-texas-rangers-020811
