Boston re-signs Kevin Youkilis

Red Sox signed Kevin Youkilis to a 4-year, $40 million deal, avoiding arbitration.

 

$10 mil a year for a .959 OPS seems pretty good.

well, that .959 OPS is from last year... far better than any other year he's had. career OPS is about 100 points lower.

 

still though, very good deal for the Sox.

plus his numbers were kind of pumped up by fenway

[SouthSideRyan]

And he's not a free agent.

Which he'll still be playing half his games in.

And he's not a free agent.

 

Hence why I put "re-signs" in the title and "avoiding arbitration" in the post.

 

Should this have gone in General Discussions?

He'll regress, but I don't think he'll go under a .900 OPS.

 

Didn't realize he was 29, though. I thought he was 27 or so.

No, I'm just saying that's why he got 10M a year.

Ah, now I understand.
