Yankees Sign Kevin Youkilis 1 Year 12 million dollar deal

[RCSownsU]

he did have speed, he wasn't that bad defensively (average defender)

I suggest since your so smart and high and mighty with all the gold glove blah blah BS, I posted a link and a nice article of how the gold glove award has become a popularity contest, last post of page one. And how Gardner was the best outfielder in the game in 2011, but got robbed of it for popularity reasons. Champ.

I was afraid they would have to give him a multi-year deal but thankfully that's not the case. Now to figure out the right field and catcher situation...

I've heard a few rumors that Michael Bourn maybe willing to take a one year deal. If true, I'd look into it.

One year, 25 million. Do it Cash!

You have got to be kidding me! The yanks are going to pay this bum 12 mil when he hit .235 last year with 19 hr. We have enough players who hit below .250. For having to be tight we money, cash sure blew this one.

You will all root for him... i don't want to hear it

thank you i will be reading it, but i still wouldn't say that to Tex.. never said Gardner wasn't a bad outfielder, just don't think he should be starting, he's a 4th outfielder at best, good pinch runner, good defensive replacement.. you like you using my words huh ace?

[Webslinger]

How is Youkilis an improvement over Chavez in any way shape or form? Yankees are basically paying 12 million for a fill in until Arod gets back.

Actually, the funny thing is that they didnt pay a catcher about half of that for the same production.

6 players from the 2004 Red Sox have now put on the Yankee pinstripes. Damon, Embree, Bellhorn, Myers, DLowe and now Youkilis.

Oh and also..explain to me how Adam Jones, one of the worst CF in the american league..won the gold glove..and Mike Trout didn't? Explain that one. Ace.

Let's hope he stays healthy..in any case, a good placeholder for when ARod comes back. Lets go get Josh now.

And who is much better at his postion..

[Strike89]

Bizarre, but I never really have much of an issue with guys other fans do. Aside from guys with criminal pasts and known clubhouse cancers, I'm cool with about anyone that can actually produce on the field.

Oh I have no problem with it. As long as he helps them win, I don't care.

I just never thought he would ever become a Yankee.

Yup. It's easy to say it's just one year. But Reynolds was cheaper and the difference would have brought our catcher back. I prefer Martin & Reynolds to Youk. Or Chavez and Martin to Youk. Just feels like a lot of money for a guy who is declining and can't stay healthy.
