December 20, 201312 yr Wow. Cool for Youk. Youkilis considered the opportunity to play in Japan a "life experience that was too good to pass up," said Bick. Life experience is right. I'm jealous.

Ah, hopefully he sells Tanaka on the White Sox. "Don't go to Boston. They'll think you're Dice-K." Edited December 20, 201312 yr by Quinarvy

December 22, 201312 yr Why not? Japanese folks love baseball as much as we do and he is almost definitely going to make more money for this season.

The "Why not" is that I think he'd still be a quality MLB contributor if he could stay healthy and I don't think he can stay healthy. I don't think going to Japan will somehow keep him healthy.

What more can he really do in MLB and spending a season in Japan would be fun.
