They desperately needed a 3B and a RH power bat and got both of those without having to add anything to the 2014 payroll.<br><br>I like David Adams a lot and think he can be a solid MLB player but going into the season with him as the 3B would be too risky. he needs more reps at 3B and needs to show he can stay healthy.<br><br>Youk will spend some time on the DL but he's still played at least 100-120 games the last 3 yrs with injuries. The Yanks will give him some rest at the DH spot and I think he's going to have a bounce back year.fishjam25http://fishjam25.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-42297523557367017472013-02-17T09:23:03.000-05:002013-02-17T09:23:03.000-05:00Definitely.

He seems proud and determined to have a solid year with the Yankees. Anxiously looking forward to seeing him play.Brian D.http://yankeesfansunite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-67737170178545783122013-02-17T12:23:45.000-05:002013-02-17T12:23:45.000-05:00Brian, I totally dissagree with you on Youk, he wa...Brian, I totally dissagree with you on Youk, he was the best choice for the Yanks at this point in time. Fans get too caught up on players who come from other teams. Boggs, Damon, and others have proven you wrong in the past. Youk will be a good addition to this years team, a team of veteran players who know how to play the game, what more could you ask for. Next year their will be a filtration of younger players from in house that you can count on, I think.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-34194552298613352762013-02-17T12:28:25.000-05:002013-02-17T12:28:25.000-05:00Brian, I mean I totally agree with you!Brian, I mean I totally agree with you!dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-54350888108013308872013-02-17T12:30:52.000-05:002013-02-17T12:30:52.000-05:00I completely agree with you Brian!

The "My Heart Will Always Be with the Red Sox." quote was taken completely out of context, but what does the media do? They take that quote so that they can get a story and cause controversy. There was nothing wrong with the quote. Like you told me on Twitter this morning, it would be the same thing if Derek Jeter went to the Red Sox and said "I'll Always be a Yankee."Delia E.http://yankeesfansunite.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-64269271516530561382013-02-18T01:08:35.000-05:002013-02-18T01:08:35.000-05:00Youkilis is a Yankee now but, without the media ha...Youkilis is a Yankee now but, without the media having their normal guy to write about they have Youk now.

He is a good fit at this time with the club.<br><br>I don't care where a player comes from once he is a Yankee I root for him.Matthew S.http://yankeesfansunite.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
