I'd go with Youk. I completely agree with you, speed is not important in the 2 spot. With Ortiz and Ramirez, green lights will come rarely. Youk gets on base a lot more than Crisp...in my opinion it's a no brainer.
Are you guys friends/relatives/etc. of any baseball players, coaches, scouts, etc?
Pretty open question...I know a lot of Northeastern baseball coaches and some players. Nobody professional though.
Anyone?
