Young agrees to take Gold Glove about 25 feet to the right
2009-01-15 15:43
by Bob Timmermann

Texas Rangers infielder Michael Young, who won the Gold Glove at shortstop in 2008, has finally agreed to shift over to third base for the 2009 season. The Rangers want to give top prospect Elvis Andrus the chance to play at shortstop.

Elvis Andrus' parents were so excited about their son playing in America that they decided to change his name so he would match one of America's most iconic figures: Jimmy Carter's Secretary of the Interior.

You would think they would change their name to Andrews so as to avoid confusion with the strikeout-prone outfielder.

The Rangers might be rushing young Elvis a little bit.

Andrus is not the first Elvis to perform in the majors:

Soon all will become Elvis.
Everything everywhere will be Elvis.
Why do you think they call it evolution anyway?
It's really Elvislution!
