He looks like he has been doing the whole MLB thing for quite some time now.....very mature hitter. Very exciting to watch 
Maybe Youk can learn how to play OF so we don't have to see Darnell Shitdonald up to bat anymore!!!

Agreed. I think I'd rather have JD Drew than DMac. That dude isn't even a AAA player...

"He's a gangster," said designated hitter David Ortiz. "Pole to pole. He's got pop, man."
:lol:
:lol:
Is Youk going to be Wally Pip, probably not. But the Sox needed some sort of shot in the arm and he is giving them that right now.

I have always liked Youks style- every at bat life-or-death, intense, hits for average/power, gets on base. A shame he can not stay healthy.

No way! Not for me. I hope he stays healthy and in Boston for a long time. One of my favorites to watch in a Sox uni.

Given the lack of places to put these guys (you either send Middlebrooks back down to you got four guys for three positions) along with Boston's pitching and outfield holes. I wouldn't be suprised to see Youkilis traded for a pitcher or outfielder. I think Youkilis has great skills and a solid batting eye. A few teams could really use a quality bat at first/third right now and with Youkilis's spat with the coach and his well documented injury history, it seems to make sense to move him and move forward with a different team makeup.
by the time youk is ready to come back, I highly doubt middlebrooks will still be on a tear like this. Youk will fit back in the lineup and Middlebrooks will be sent down to AAA, so that he can play everyday.
Youk just needs to heat up enough to give the sox some value to deal him.
If I remember correctly....Lavarnway had a similar situation last season.

Super excited over the start Middlebrooks has had......The only bad thing to me is that every time he does something good I go into face-palm mode, thinking of this past winter and how I perpetually had his Elite card in my "watched items" list. How they were $18-20 bucks BIN's for months, and how many times I almost bought one and figured "nah - Everyone already knows he's their top prospect, I'll wait until I see an auction I can snag at a real deal".
Then it seemed all the sellers pulled them back.....Next thing you know I check a few weeks ago and see a $60 sale. Now they are closer to $100. So it's cheer and get excited with every home run......and then hit my head into the table lol.
edit* - Check that. I just saw, after last night someone hit an Elite BIN of $169.99.
::facepalm::
Looks like it's going to be a while before I can afford him now......and I hope that's the case, since it'll mean he's stuck and is playing great.

It actually sold for a BO of 101. Just click on the link. eBay changed a while back to not show the final sell price on Best Offers.

That was mine. I've sold one for 99.99 and another for 101 (which had the $169 buy it now). I still have one at $169 and if he keeps this up, it will be hit.
Boston superstars with just ONE rookie auto serial numbered to 409 copies dont come along all that often.

And I thought selling my lot of 4 for 240 last week was good...

Agreed on every point. Though I doubt Youk would bring a decent return in trade no matter how well he plays.
I remember when we almost got him for Sean Casey.
