Done Deal: White Sox Obtain Youkilis

[brett05]

That's why it's PTBNL my guess

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Lillibridge out. That's it.

Stewart and Lillibridge for youk

 

[dabynsky]

Lillibridge is at least a useful player, but still a huge win for the Sox.

 

[brett05]

I liked Brent too. Felt we misused him this year. Hope all goes well for him

 

[DewsSox79]

im glad o dawg isnt being DFAd. he can back up 2nd and 3b

 

[TheChicagoFan]

He was a hard-worker. Tough to see him go.

Reports saying that he was a big part of making that deal happen.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

5.5 mil in cash for Sox.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

If the Sox win the division and offense picks up, this trade becomes a STEAL and a huge reason why the Sox end up winning the division.

I hope you are right

[Tazer4mvp]

Great pickup for the ChiSox.

If he can stay healthy it is, I hope it works out.

 

[Capt. Serious]

get to see Youk on July 8th.

:yeah:

 

[brett05]

but he's done according to brett. opcorn:

Could he possibly replace the all star Hudson that you and Dews trumpeted?

 

[dabynsky]

Comparisons to the Gaetti trade in 98 are already floating out there...

 

[dabynsky]

Sox are getting 5.6 million in the deal apparently.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Average player (Lillibridge) and bad pitcher for an upgrade at 3B. I think that's a steal.

 

[dabynsky]

I agree that it is a very low risk move for the Sox all things considered. My only explanation for that is other teams most really think Youk is done.
