June 24, 201213 yr If KY hits anything over .225 he might be here next year as well. Kenny won't pay him $13 Large, but he won't get that anywhere else either.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) Does Kevin have a Gold Glove? is he decent defensively? We don't have to make any more 25 man roster changes. Kevin U in, BSBridge out. Doesn't Boston want some Fu-Ku? When healthy, Youkilis was "average" at 3b and a really good 1b. He hasn't been healthy this year so his 3b play hasn't really been anything to write home about. You're getting him hopefully for his bat, and hoping that playing 3b doesn't kill his body.
June 24, 201213 yr Just got home from a weekend out of town saw no White Sox read the game thread about lilli being PH for and then the trade. Regardless of the outcome, great trade for KW.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:06 PM) DeAza Beckham Dunn Kong AJ Rios Youk Tank Alexei Viciedo doesn't deserve the demotion and Youk doesn't deserve to hit in front of him. Yet.
June 24, 201213 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Red Sox picking up roughly $5.6 million of Youkilis' deal so White Sox paying $2.5 million
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:06 PM) DeAza Beckham Dunn Kong AJ Rios Youk Tank Alexei Flip Youk and Rios due to OBP.
June 24, 201213 yr Wow, was there anything good about Stewie's last start against the cuBS? surprised that Boston took him. Guess we were showcasing him.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:09 PM) Flip Youk and Rios due to OBP. Rios's OBP this season is 25 points higher than Youkilis's.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Red Sox picking up roughly $5.6 million of Youkilis' deal so White Sox paying $2.5 million Not that it matters much, but Boston side says he's owed 6.5 million more this season so my math says 1.9 million.
June 24, 201213 yr I'd go: De Aza, Beckham, Dunn, Konerko, Rios, Youkilis, Viciedo, Pierzynski, Ramirez
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) Trade clears yet another space on the 40 man roster. We now have bench guys in Escobar and JorDanks that can each play 3 positions (and I wouldn't mind Danks reprising Elf's role as occasional/post pinch-running for Paulie 1b), and if we've learned anything about RV, he likes to go with his horses and over-manage the pen. Do we possibly add another bullpen arm instead of going the more traditional route? Septimo, Leal, SRodriguez, Omogrosso, Remenowsky, or another? Could be interesting. Also, Hector has pitched very little lately. Would now be a good time to get him stretched out as another starter in AAA? I think he has the ability, and his current role seems rather vague.

June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:08 PM) Viciedo doesn't deserve the demotion and Youk doesn't deserve to hit in front of him. Yet. I think your should hit in front of him tbh. We all know his .obp is going to be higher and viciedo isn't exactly setting the world on fire either
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:10 PM) Not that it matters much, but Boston side says he's owed 6.5 million more this season so my math says 1.9 million. We have to hold onto Odawg right now. He now has played third. hope he just keeps practicing at third. You never know.

We all know his .obp is going to be higher and viciedo isn't exactly setting the world on fire either Hell, the dude had 4 RBI yesterday and was a big part of a win. I'm not dropping him in the order for a guy hitting .225 right now. If he comes out and hits like healthy Kevin Youkilis, then in a week I'll agree and in 2 weeks he'll be hitting 5th.

Patience, please.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Who is hating this trade? There is some b****ing he is too old.

Doesn't Boston want some Fu-Ku? Youk's not good at 3B, but you can play him there without worrying too much.
June 24, 201213 yr KW has never made a mid-season trade where the player(s) helped send the team into the playoffs that season. Let's hope this is the first. Blum doesn't count haha
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) There is some b****ing he is too old. If it counts, I'm the most skeptical, just not sure he's healthy based on his numbers this season. It's totally a reasonable risk given the lack of anything from 3b this team has gotten this year. I'm just not handing Youkilis the 5th spot in the lineup until he shows that he's actually healthy.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:16 PM) Who plays first base after they pinch run for Paulie late in the game now? Kevin Youkilis.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:16 PM) Who plays first base after they pinch run for Paulie late in the game now? Youk, and escobar ran for paulie i think.

If he comes out and hits like healthy Kevin Youkilis, then in a week I'll agree and in 2 weeks he'll be hitting 5th. He had 4rbi yesterday which brings him to a grand total of 6 this month. Dude isn't doing well and I trust the guy who takes walks to snap out of it first.
