Kevin Edmund "Youk" Youkilis

It is with a heavy heart that I tell all of you readers (none of which really care I assume) that the Boston Red Sox have traded Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox. This happened yesterday. Pretty much during the Boston-Atlanta game. Oh man. We hate to see him go.

Youk was good. Truly, he was (and is, but it feels like he'd dead).
Check out here for his stats and whatnot. Impressive huh?

My brother hates Youk. This is one of the many reasons why:

He has a stupid batting stance. Its true. But that stance has gotten him career stats that look like this:
AVG .287
HR 133
RBI 564
OBP of .388

Those arent the best stats ever, but they sure ain't the worst!

Now that he is gone, David "Big Papi" Ortiz is the only Red Sox player left from the 2004 World Series Champion team. I have a feeling though that Jacoby, Pedroia, Crawford, Beckett, Nava, and the likes may be here for the next few WS Championships.

On a side note, by the time Youk is done, he will probably have spent his whole MLB career as a sock....He debuted as a red one and will probably finish out as a white one.
