Why do people think its YOLK?

 

Def YOUKKKKKKKK

 

LOL it's in reference to Beckhams tweet, which most of us misconstrued as Beckham announcing we traded for in his words "Yolk". Turns out he was going to Yolk with his GF for breakfast, and we didnt trade for Youk nor learn his other nickname.

Why do you keep thinking the guy can hit? He was MISERABLE at the plate with multiple teams. He strikes out too much for a lineup already containing Dunn. Then you add his bad defense? f*** that, i would rather stick with hudson, at least that guy has a track record of hitting

 

Track record of hitting? Jesus. How did you get to be a mod?

I still think Josh Fields would help, and he would not cost much if anything. Sox should not be hung up on defensive shortcomings from 3-4 yrs ago. At least scout him to see if he has improved. At least he can hit more than a little bit.

 

I like your idea, man. I brought that up yesterday. Was pretty much harassed for it.

 

He'd be an improvement over anything we have. How much of an improvement I'm not sure. But when your desperate, it might be worth a shot.

 

Don't tell these guys about it, though. They don't seem to think that minor league numbers mean anything, or that people can improve over time.

Hahn is on with Rongey now. Nothing imminent, and he reiterated that usually when "rumors" come out, they don't come to fruition.

 

Which is true.

Yeah...knowing sommething Kenny is about to do before he does it is totally not his style.

Rosenthal says Red Sox are willing to pick up $5 million of the $8 million. Said the White Sox were close but the BoSox backed off because they'd rather try to send him to the NL. The Indians are also getting in the list because they want to make a splash.

 

Valentine and Youkilis getting into it on the record over Youk not getting playing time.

I just checked the DVR.

 

"The Red Sox, well they're willing to pick up $5 million of the $8 million remaining on Youkilis's contract".

Thanks for clarifying

He did mention the Dodgers need to pick up someone like him to help their offense.

The Dodgers, White Sox, Indians, Diamondbacks were teams on his list I believe. Might have been one other.

It would be nice to break up the Rios/AJ/Viciedo/Alexei part of the lineup with someone that can draw a walk. Only 43 combined walk for those 4 guys this season.

 

That is huge that most of our guys refuse to walk. Shows again that hitting coaches don't matter. They didn't walk for Walk, either.

Drawing walks is not something you're really ever going to teach. You can teach some approach things, but it is nearly impossible to train the tendency to walk

I know earlier you were hearing a Spect+ cash for Youk, are you hearing anything new??

 

I believe that was Bucket actually who was hearing that. That seems to be the amount people are going to give up. I dont think Matt will be involved in the trade.
