"On the first full day of workouts, Michael Young was busy.

He took some grounders at second base during batting practice and worked on a smaller field with Dave Anderson, going over footwork at first base.

Young didn't take any grounders during the work with Anderson.

"It was stuff you have to be aware of with your footwork at first," said Young, who will get early work at first base Monday.

"The one thing we talked about was how to have your foot on the bag when you're receiving throws. I see a lot of guys who play first base for the first time get crushed by baserunners because their foot's all over the bag."

Earlier this week, Young said he'd be willing to play in the outfield as well."
