Youk/Gonzo Versus A-Rod/Tex

The Red Sox website has an article about Youk & Adrian Gonzalez playing the corner infield positions at 1B & 3B this year. The next logical question by sportswriters will be to measure their performance against the Yankee corners of A-Rod & Teixeira. It should be an interersting comparison as we go through the 2011 season.

The Yankee corners are older. A-Rod & Teixeira had good years, but not great years, in 2010. Question - Are their best years behind them?

Youk is in his prime & should be well rested after missing the last 3 months of 2010 with his thumb injury. Gonzalez is just coming into his prime & has already put up big offensive numbers in a pitcher's park.

Let the Red Sox - Yankees corners dispute begin.
