Yoooouuuuuuuuu!


Kevin Youkilis is now a proud owner of a new contract with the Red Sox. Both sides avoided arbitration by agreeing to a 4-year contract. Please don't get the impression that Youkilis is going to hit .312AVG with 29HRs and drive in 112RBIs every year. I don't see that happening since he didn't show this during his first 4 seasons in the bigs. I do like the lineup around him so he should produce decent numbers but, like I said, I can't seem him repeating 2008.

The one thing he has on his side is he is still relatively young, turning 30 this March.

Fantasy owners should see him as a low risk high return, the type we love as investors, type of guy. You can draft him fairly late in drafts and will get decent numbers but maybe he could explode and have another "career year" type of season.
