Tex should be that player, but he isn't. Martin could be, but he's too quiet, and isn't a good enough hitter. Yankees need a prick we can love.

In 2008, I see Milton Bradley, A-Rod, and Carlos Quentin better, but nobody else. In 2009 I see only Mauer clearly better. 2010 is different because Youk was injured, but his rate was good enough for top five even though his total production wasn't close.

Very good player for a few years and very dangerous, to be sure, but I think Shur is overstating things a bit. Yet he was, as Dick Williams used to refer to players, "a prick who can play," the kind of player every good team needs, and also the kind of one that one a not so good team somehow never seems quite as good. “Top five or so hitter” as long as that “or so” actually means top fifteen or twenty – I don’t think he was ever a top five by any measure, although I though he deserved the MVP more than Pedroia.

Basically we reacted to him as Red Sox fans reacted to Paul O'Neill...and that's fine. I also think he'll give Chicago something like a .380 OBP with respectable power He’s one of those guys that we all hate, but we all know we’d love if he were a Yankee.

Glad I read the entire piece. I hated Youk since I feared him every time he came to the plate. Had to respect the man in his prime. Good offence, good defense and badass attitude. Great line by Francona andyou also gotta like the sidebar about Shur's wife meeting Paul O'Neill. Yeah, that was a good article. Glad I read the entire piece.

He might be a dick, but if he's on your team, he's your dick and happy to have him. I fear that Youk will haunt the Yankees again.
