Can Youk Get Back Into the Lineup?

The short answer: Yes. For a number of reasons Youk needs to get back into the lineup as he comes off his stint on the DL. First, he's a good player. Has been for years. I like the comment by Nick Cafardo about Youk being the Michael Young of this Red Sox team. Play some 3rd, play some first, use him as a DH. Second, if Youk's time in Boston has expired & a trade is imminent, they need to show he is productive once again to get a player or two of comparable value. Third, he's earned a spot on the field. You can't have enough good players. You should expect to see Youk on the field soon, like this week.
