Youk is Here to Stay

Good news out of Boston--

"According to ESPN.com, the Red Sox have avoided arbitration with Youkilis by signing him to a
four-year, $40 million contract. The deal reportedly includes an option for the 2013 season."

I think that is what many of us have been waiting for, for the Sox to lock up Youkilis. He's just one of those invaluable Red Sox guys.

Oh man...completely out of nowhere, but I just remembered Coco Crisp isn't on the team anymore. It seems like that happened so long ago. Aww, I will miss Coco. Where is he now? Kansas City? Eek.

Now what about Varitek??
