Multiple sources are reporting that Kevin Youkilis will sign with the New York Yankees for one year at $12 million. He is expected to replace Alex Rodriguez until he returns from surgery mid-season.
Fantasy Spin: Even though A-rod is expected back mid-season, I would bid on Youkilis as if he were to get a full season of play as a full-time player. It is likely A-rod will spend a lot of time as the DH when he does come back, leaving a lot of playing time for Youkilis at 3B.
