08:13 AM ET 06.26 | The White Sox didn't give up much for Kevin Youkilis, meaning the same could probably have been true for a number of MLB clubs. That means the White Sox have made a sensational trade or the 33-year-old Youkilis' decline is far more dramatic than most of us non-major-league scouts had imagined. If it's the latter, the Indians are excused, because Youkilis will likely have a minimal impact in Chicago. However, if it's the former, if Youkilis rolls into the Windy City and is energized and inspired by the change of scenery and kicked-to-the-curb treatment by his former team, enough to help lead the White Sox to the Central Division title -- then the Indians will have some explaining to do.

I thank God and Chris Antonetti that I don't have to cheer for Kevin Youkilis.

I've watched this guy play his whole career, and from what I have seen for the last year and a half, I see nothing that would lead me to believe that he will come close to being the player he was in his prime. I think your Indians are safe.

While he was a good player, even in his prime he came across as a whiney little ****.

How long is this going to be a story? He's no longer the star player he once was, plus he's only a rental so it's not like the Red Sox were going to come away with a lot. The 2 guys they picked up won't fill any needs for this year but the pitcher is only 25 so he could work out with more time in the minors. I hope Youk does well, but it's not like he's a difference maker.

It looks like Youk went from 32 to 42 overnight.

He's pretty much done. Some players "get old" quick, and he's one of them.
Lincecum may be another.

That's one of the problems with having back issues. Plus he's no longer a guy that waits for his pitch but that comes with being in a slump.

There are a couple of types of criminals that aren't tolerated in prison.
The ones that harm kids in horrible ways are #1.
Like I've been saying, to truly "punish" Sandusky, put him in general population.

I hold Tom Brady's sister personally responsible for his demise.

He received a fair trial. We're on to the punishment phase now.

As far as I'm concerned, he's still on the Red Sox.
