The Red Sox are eating all but $2 million of the money owed to Youkilis for the rest of the season.

Well we don't have to pay ZS and BL anymore. Thus payroll should only go up

 

And the lineup is going to change. Where does u-kill-it usually bat. not ninth?

SO EXCITED to see Youk in this lineup.

 

Where do you guy put him? After Aj?

 

With the way he's hitting, you'd have to hit him either 7th or 8th.

 

An interesting thought would be to hit him second. He's got the on base skills to thrive in that role.

Beckham's hitting well in that role so he can stay there for now...couple more hits from him today.

 

You start Youk in the 8th/9th spots until he shows you he can do something other than walk. If he keeps hitting .150 there, then in 3 weeks we'll be trying to trade for another 3b.

Holy s***, White Sox get Youk for Stewart's busted ass and Lillyflower. Perfect!!!!

Nice to see from a Sox fan standpoint..........those 2 guys are cannon fodder. Boston fan board has to be so pissed at this deal overall.

Gordon is doing well in the #2 spot, I'd hit him 6th, with DV moving to 7th. Alexei should hit 9th from here out unless he turns it around.

My ideal spot for Youk is in between the Cubans.

 

Break up the free swingers.

Also not great to put him in the 9th spot because then he slows down De Aza's speed game any time he's on base. 8th is a good place to start, and if he suddenly starts hitting like 2 years ago, then move him on up.

Kenny sure does love his past-their-prime players. Vizquel, Griffey, Hudson, Youkilis

Kenny w always gets his old man. Guess Jamie Mo is next. Dang we need another starter to make this work. Open up the vault Jerry Reins.

A.J.'s hitting 6th.

 

7th or 8th will be fine with me. Dayan's not exactly lighting the world on fire, so I wouldn't oppose moving him down to 8.

 

I think the important thing is that Hudson's finally out of the lineup.
