Age: 25 B-T:R-R Ht.:6-1 Wt.:210
Drafted:Cincinnati, 2001(8th round)
Signed by:Matt Haas.
Background:
Youkilis already has exceed expectation for an eighth-round senior sign. In
2003 alone, he played in the Future Game, led the Eastern League in on base
percentage, finished third in the minors with overall .441 OBP and reached
base in 71 consecutive games.
Strength:
Nicknamed "the Greek God of walks" in "Moneyball", Kevin is an on base
machine. His controlled, line-drive approach frustrated pitchers. An intensive
workout regimen last offseason has helped make him into an average defender
and a decent athelete.
Weakness:
Despite Youkilis' plate discipline, he has yet to show much power. He drove
the ball more often after adjusting his hands toward the end of his tenure at
Double-A Portland, but reverted to his previous form once he slumped at
Triple-A Pawtucket. Pitchers exploited Youkilis' patience there, so he'll
have to get more aggresive earlier in the count. He's a below average runner.
The future:
Often compared to Bill Mueller, Youkilis eventually will have to unset the
defending AL batting champion to win Boston's third-base job.
