According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, Red Sox manager
Bobby Valentine wanted Kevin Youkilis "out" as early as Spring Training—suggesting that the coming return of the third baseman may be more volatile than we all thought. A rival General Manager allegedly told Rosenthal that Bobby V. saw Youk as a "liability" from the get-go—preferring rookie Will Middlebrooks at the hot corner. Sox General Manager Ben Cherigton—caught in between two volcanic personalities—has generally sided with the player (saying, for example, that Youk will not lose his job to injury). It's yet another no-win situation for BenCher. Can't he have an
easy decision once in a while? Geesh!
