fathom Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) I think Youk is back, but it isn't like they have to pick up his option. I think they'll sign him to a 1yr deal with an option for a 2nd year at somewhere like 6-8M per. Why would he do that though and make less in 2 years than he could in one?

Heck, let Flowers catch and DH AJ I agree. Dunn needs to take a few days off. Maybe PH is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option isn't something the Sox have to pick up. Thats like saying why would Peavy sign for less then his option amount. If the market is less and I think with Youk he wants to play somewhere that he is comfortable (and he's fit in nicely) and most teams are going to be leary about going long-term/big money with him since there are injury concerns (Based upon the past couple years). 13M/yr is more then he'd get on the open market. At most I think he'd get 9-10M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what, teams are going to be incredibly cautious. He's had injury problem and his body type is not indicative of someone whose going to have a long, healthy career in baseball.
