Poll Shows Strong Sentiment To Trade Youk
Early results to our latest FenwayNation Poll indicate that a slim majority of readers would opt for trading Kevin Youkilis when he gets healthy. As the table shows, 51.6% would opt for the trade route, while another 29.0% favor sitting Youkilis and starting Will Middlebrooks at third base. Thus, at least four in five readers favor some other scenario than playing Youk. A slim 8.1% think Youkilis should be the starter at third, with Middlebrooks either sitting on the bench or being sent back down to AAA Pawtucket. Interestingly, 11.3% feel some "other" action should be taken, although no clear single direction emerged from these responses. You can still vote in the poll HERE.
