Pirates to Braves to Red Sox.

 

 

At any rate, the best move KW has made since Sergio Santos was obviously Jose Quintana.

 

His "big impact" moves have tended to backfire since 2008, but this one isn't an unreasonable risk at all and will pay for itself, largely.

 

If nothing else, we'll probably make up half that revenue from Red Sox fans when they're in town who also want to see Youk playing for another team.

Our 3B have hit .168 this year. Even horribly average performance will be awesome.

The one thing that worries me is that outside of 10 days in late may after coming off the DL, Youkilis has been horribly bad.

 

But if he's motivated now to prove people wrong, and he's actually feeling good...let's see him bring it.

Carl Everett, AJ, Jenks, Rios, Javy, Swisher, O-Cabrera, Manny...we've had a mixed record in that area taking players with "bad reputations" and incorporating them into our clubhouse.

 

Griffey, Jr., had a reputation for being next to impossible to deal with and he was great for our clubhouse and as a teammate, if not so good on the field.

 

what?

Does Kevin have a Gold Glove? is he decent defensively?

 

We don't have to make any more 25 man roster changes.

Kevin U in, BSBridge out. Doesn't Boston want some Fu-Ku?

Sounds like we pay 900k for him for the rest of the season. End of the year it's 1 mil buy-out or 13 million option. So 1.9 million in all.

 

Even better that the buyout was a part of this deal. that may still leave us money to add another player.

I believe he's got 2, but not sure if one of them was at 1st
