It will be interesting to see how the situation develops this spring. @BobbyRoberto: I agree about the Fan Projections: They seem good for situational stats like AB, but are probably not regressed as much as they should be for other stats. 400 AB seems reasonable for a decent utility guy. @Toffer Peak: Even if he’s only worth $7 due to a lack of playing time, I bet there are a lot of leagues where he’ll still cost less.

Young's playing time is a big question mark, though, so it's a guess at this point.

For some reason the computer projections seem to be giving him a lot of playing time (509 ABs). Will he really get it though? The Rockies' OF is already overcrowded and he has to contend with Barmes at 2nd. For the record, so far the FanGraphs fans have him getting only 399 ABs, and so far I've found their projections to be quite optimistic in comparison to the conputers. If you reduce his ABs to 400 and proportionally adjust his other counting stats I have his value going from $16 all the way down to $7. I think right now caution is the word until we have a better idea about his playing time. Eric Young Jr. looks very interesting but I think it’s too early to judge him right now.
