The so pathetic part was sarcasm because you said the game was over before he was able to even pitch. If you based his performance in his last couple games. A-God went 0-8 yesterday. So everytime we have RISP we should just pinch hit for him right.

 

Couldn't hurt right now! I'm not a stats guy but I seem to remember more times than not Padilla giving up hits (and runs) when he needed outs. Just an (pathetic) observation.:dunno:

Ok. Should we now start seriously talking about what sort of pitching Youk can pick us up in a trade?

nothing right now. You need to hope he can come back and hit the s*** out of the ball. Otherwise, the broken down Youkilis gets you nothing

He's such a buzzkill.

 

Reminds of that movie with Bill Macy where he plays this Las Vegas guy that the casino keeps around to cool off gamblers that get hot and start winning big...He just stands next to the guy who is winning all this money.....and....hot streak over....money reverses possession back to the house....world balance restored. That's Mc-dime

Problem is, Youk's in a contract year. He's got an option, but it's overpriced. Either way, he'd be going to a contender. No contender is going to look to sell a SP unless they are flush in SP and weak in offense.

 

Only way you get something back is if you either take on years or salary from a team trying to get rebuild and get rid of deadweight. Think of the ChiSox - Send Youk + $$$ to the White Sox for Thornton, who is making $5.5mm this year and $5.5mm next year. Gets money off their books quicker.

Thing is, the one team that could really use Youk is in the division and has the match the sox need. I could see the Rays dealing Niemann or Alex Cobb for a Youkilis so they can stabilize their offense. Problem is, the sox and rays would never do that deal
