1. Chip Posted: June 24, 2012 at 12:49 PM (#4164748)Indeed. How the #### do you go from the most prolific opposite field power hitter in the game to not even being able to put outside pitches in play with authority in one year? It's like he's aged 10 years overnight.
(Ross has been a pretty good pick-up, hasn't he?)
Good to see him homer to the opposite field though.
He had that one game against the Marlins where he hit a homer, a double high off the monster that was probably a homer in most parks, and a ball Nady robbed a homer on in the RF bullpen. But after that he went right back to lacking any ability to drive the ball, until today.
When your second best available starting pitcher at the moment appears to be Franklin Morales, bludgeoning opponents with offense may become imperative.
And Cook is handing these runs right back :(
oh, ######### Cook. Get the sure out.
HOLY ####### #### ARE YOU KIDDING?
Such a perfect Youklidian slide there if that's his last moment in a Sox uniform.
Based on his history of trading starting position players, I'm expecting a reliever not good enough to make the 25 man roster.
Sean McAdam ?@Sean_McAdam
Source: Can confirm that a deal for Youkilis is in works though "not complete.'' Can also confirm he was lifted as precaution.
I never bought into "he's a dick" whatever that went on here by some folks. Seeing him on "Small Talk" showed a very nice side of him, and it seemed genuine. (I readily admit I enjoy that segment. Kids and ballplayers. It's better than Jenny Dell).
I'll miss him, and I appreciate all his contributions to the team I root for.
It will. They're going to sell him for pennies on the dollar and he's going to produce for the White Sox at an all-star level.
