Bobby To Youk: Expect Less Playing Time

Pine-Riding

The discussion that should have happened a while ago has finally occurred. Bobby Valentine said he has spoken to Kevin Youkilis and let him know that he should expect less playing time.

Thus, the balancing act between enhancing Youkilis' trade value and riding the "hot hand" that is Will Middlebrooks is done. Expect to see the youngster at third most days and Youk riding the pine.
