I don't like this move-
Obviously Tex is a great player-

But Youk is a PROVEN clutch guy-
and his numbers are not too shabby.

Agreed. Much as Youk makes me want to puke, if it comes to him or Tex, they'd be crazy to go with Tex. But this definately wouldn't be the first time they let a hometown favorite go. Theo is one cold mutha.

believe me- I vomited in my mouth as well......

Youk KILLS us-

After watching the 'clutch' 90's yanks and the bloated
'non-clutch' recent yanks - you cannot undervalue
proven clutch guys....PERIOD

Youkilis is originally a 3rd baseman. I wouldn't assume that it's Teixeira or Youkilis, but rather Teixeira or Lowell -- and Lowell, when he wasn't hurt last year, had pretty average offensive numbers, and has half the testicles that Tex has.

That's nothing a little linseed oil and a good scratching couldn't fix.

I think Bobby Ray could use your services...

Good morning, Mr. Redfoot. Yeah, I didn't see anything in this article about Youk, either, but our groovy friend brought up the scenario. Theo IS heartless, as he should be, but I don't see Tex's signing there necessarily spelling Youk's departure.

Oh, and I disagree about the testicles thing. I think you just said that becuase you like to see the word "testicles" in print. His numbers weren't that great, but he is a clutch hitter.

Look it up for yourself on NutbagProspectus.com.

Good morning to you, too, Mr. Yer Base.

I've got to make breakfast -- I'll be in and out.

I'm just lazing around in bed with my lady. I'll be in and out too.

this makes all the sense to get tex because he can play multiple postions.. including the off field its not about getting rid off yuk its about adding power to a medicore offense good move if they make it like the going says you can never have enough great players

It'd be a great addition. Lowell isn't getting younger and it's hard to come back from hip surgery. Youkilis would move to third and Tex would take first. Sox need another big bat to keep pressure off Bay and protect Ortiz.

Theo is cold, but he's not dumb...Youk isnt going anywhere for quite a while. Youk leaving the Red Sox woud be a cause for celebration just as Manny was (in Yankees fans minds). If Youk were a Yankee...I would be happy.

Texas needs a 3rd baseman and the Sox need a catcher. As an impartial, I think it makes too much sense to sign Tex and trade Youk for one of the Rangers young catchers.

Don't even bother to mention Lowell. NOBODY is going to trade for that contract with his age and injuries.

This is the smartest move by the red sox. Gold Glove 1b hits and you guys are forgetting that Youk plays third and the sox arent sure what they re getting back in Lowell, the guy is getting old. Texieria has more power then lowell, and so doesnt youk so they ll be adding a lot more power to their lineup. Hopefully the sox get him and lowe, they could have a shot at the World Series.
