Yankees Sign Kevin Youkilis 1 Year 12 million dollar deal

[rrzubnyy]

Plenty of sites do all the work for you these days. I simply looked at the stats. It's honestly not that hard to figure out why his production is going down. He's not hitting fastballs as well, and more balls put onto the ground. GBs work great for guys like Ichiro, Gardner, or other fast players. Not so well for a guy like Youk.

Back issues hurt is swing...he is over that now and the .300 hitter of old is back just like Wade Boggs did.......

Did Youkadoosh make any statements?

[JobaRules26]

Nobody is predicting the worst. It's a realistic expectation that Youk wouldn't be as productive as he has been in year's past. His recent batted ball tendencies and other peripherals haven't been the most positive.

If he manages a .280/.370/.500 type year then that would be a pleasant surprise and would help this team plenty. It's just not realistic to expect that at this point.

Nobody is saying he will be as productive as he was, say 2010. Anyone who follows baseball know he's been in a decline the last few years. All I'm saying is I think its feasable he puts up productive numbers that will help this team win. We are in better shape now then we were an hour ago. We have a 3B. Glass half full.

Couldn't agree more. 3B down, C to go...

and RF

Oh silly billy!

And DH...

[JobaRules26]

And bench....

[RCSownsU]

And DH...

Nunez can DH, since he has a DECENT bat. And that will keep his glove off the field.

[bronxbombers88]

So right now our lineup looks like this (assuming Ichiro signs)

1. Ichiro RF
2. Jeter SS
3. Cano 2B
4. Tex 1B
5. Granderson LF
6. Youk 3B
7. DH?
8. Romine/ Cervelli C
9. Gardner CF
Would that lineup scare any of you? A lot of uncertains

arod just took youk and joba out to dinner.

Would you take a flyer on Thome? He said today he still wants to play. Would be a good bat off the bench. DH him at home with that short porch.

When that DH turns into Arod, it'll look pretty good.
