Well when the fans and players are chasing him with torches and pitchforks he will act.

Won't be soon enough to satisfy me.

Bobby Valentine has got to be kidding me!!!??? If he really feels this about Youk, based on?????, then keep it in-house. Going public is a bush-league move and it won't be his last I'm afraid.

YOUK can't CHA CHA with Bobby V and no one else in that clubhouse wants too. This guy should be selling used cars.

Hopefully the idiot Valentine realizes that this isn't the way the core group of Red Sox players prefer changes get made and messages get sent. If he keeps it up, he will alienate the players.

He sold Luckey a bill of BS.

Youk used to have the second most walks in MLB after Barry Bonds
I saw this in Moneyball. Valentine saw Moneyball and wished he was in it.
He (Kevin) should be old time patient like he was when batting with Ortiz and Manny.
Everybody wait for two strikes, then foul foul foul foul foul foul...

I myself have gotten pssed at Youk at times, but I'll never question his commitment.
I am a bit concerned that he supposedly has a "sore groin" already, I mean 10 games in and he's already hurting?
I hope Middlebrooks is getting ready, cuz Punto isn't the answer if Youk goes down for any length of time.

Youk is top heavy, his legs are weak, these guys should run, exercise. I think some batters are a bit lazy. And he's terrible second half of the season, another sign of fitness problems.

7 walks is not terrific.

Whatta ya mean, Blohard thought he was cruisin'

hi bc15!
