August 19, 201213 yr Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales Youkilis said his right knee has been bothering him for a while. RV not about to take any chances
August 19, 201213 yr His body slowly falling apart was one of the concerns when the Sox traded for him, so this isn't really a surprise. (No matter what, the trade was still worth it obviously)
August 19, 201213 yr Youk is going to need some sort of offseason conditioning program. He's at the point in time where he can't get away with a body more resembling a weekend softball player.
August 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 19, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) Youk is going to need some sort of offseason conditioning program. He's at the point in time where he can't get away with a body more resembling a weekend softball player. I don't think there's anything you can do to keep him healthy on a full season other than have him at DH-1b. It's no coincidence that he started having the injury problems right after Boston acquired Gonzalez and moved Youk back to a much more physically demanding position.
