Kevin Youkilis has a herniated disc in his back and will undergo surgery to repair it on Thursday.

He is expected to need about 10-12 weeks of rest and rehab, which puts his season in jeopardy. It's another brutal blow to the Yankees, who have been without third baseman Alex Rodriguez (hip) all year. Youkilis was batting .219/.305/.343 with two home runs and eight RBI in 28 games as A-Rod's fill-in at the corner.

I hate to see players get hurt, but it's about time the Yankees have had to deal with age and the injuries that come along with it. You can only try to skate into the playoffs with 35 year old players (and older) so many times.

May this Mariano Rivera farewell tour end with empty stadiums in September.

I don't see how losing a 648 OPS corner infielder with suspect defense is a brutal blow.

Or, more significantly (with hindsight) ...........

Great free agent signing for the Yankees.

I don't see how signing a .648 O.P.S. corner infielder with suspect defense was going to help this team very much in the first place. :laughlol:

      Well I said Coulombe was no good because he hasnt been good for like 5 or 6 years and guys like that don’t usually just all of a sudden turn out to be good. Even you can understand that, at least when you aren’t completely lying about what I say. And didn’t you say Mateo was good and an everyday player?  Oh yea you did and you did that despite all the evidence telling you that’s a pretty bad opinion. It’s clear you don’t seem to understand the issue I’m putting out there, so I’ll just sit back and watch you troll and misrepresent my comments, per your usual.    Luckily, I’m sure Elias won’t be stupid and offer Means a contract that he shouldn’t, so I feel good about it not happening.

      I'm predicting the "clubhouse veteran" will be an OF to compensate if Kjerstad/Cowser aren't ready for regular reps.  Although, I'm concerned that Kjerstad has almost not played the field for the O's.  Someone needs to research if he's actually Jack Cust in disguise.

      The idea that anyone is advocating for Means based on one start is a ridiculous strawman of your own making. Nor is anyone "ignoring" Ks. But saying 17 innings of good pitching with low ks isn't some warning sign. That you reduce all pitching analysis to k rate, even in miniscule sample sizes, is absurd. Btw, didn't you say Coloumbe was "no good" because of his low k rate last season in a miniscule sample? Why yes. Yes you did.

      I wonder if Westburg is the main chip to upgrade the pitching staff this offseason.  Maybe Santander too as the OP noted.  If Westburg stays at 2B, where does Holliday play?  Westburg is probably a small upgrade over Urias at UIF, but is that small upgrade really worth it vs his trade value?  I say that as a Westburg fan.

      IIRC, there was a line in an article this summer that basically said Hyde gets suggested lineups everyday from the front office / analytics department.  So any “overuse” criticism has to be directed there too.

      You had me until “serviceable anywhere in the infield or outfield”.   There’s a chance he sticks at 3B.  That’s a best case scenario where he’s serviceable there.  That would be a great fit with Mayo, Henderson (SS), and Holliday (2B).   I’m sure the Orioles are holding out hope for Mayo and that infield alignment.

      I’ve taken the test myself, the ASVAB, and am college educated. My Wonderlic score was a 30. Oddly enough the highest score ever was a football player that scored a perfect 50.The average intelligence score is a 20 and anything over 26 is a good score. I could try to dig up his college GPA but it’s possible that he never did any of the work or even went to class like many athletes. Regardless of what you think of the Wonderlic it’s the only gauge we have.
