Padres' Young isn't quite up to speed

Friday's matchups around Phoenix were mostly duds. I ended up at the White Sox/Padres game in Peoria, where Chris Young started for San Diego and began a parade of Padres pitchers who were all but throwing batting practice for Chicago's hitters. Young was awful all around; he topped out at 86 mph and threw a couple of fastballs at 83. We're at the point in camp when pitchers should be at or near their regular-season velocity, and Young is 4-6 mph below where he should be.
