The Yankees have had a no facial-hair rule in place for their players for quite some time now, AFAIK. I have never seen an image of him clean-shaven and w/o that heavy, bushy-black goatee...Should "Yuckilis" decide to sign with his former arch-nemesis and division rival Yankees, ala ex-Red Sox Boggs, Damon, and Clemens, he would then have to shave it off for the full-boat cue-ball look, to go with his blindingly white, and huge bald dome...yikes!!
 
It might get worse for the yankees;

Cano will Not give the yankees a hometown discount.

Yeah KC, I posted the same link in the Hamilton thread. IF the Yankees brass tries to negotiate an extended contract with Cano @ age 30 and he and his agent Boras demands/requires a Pujols-like contract for longer that 6 years, the Yankees might be forced to consider trading him before the ASB, might not be wise to wait until the trade deadline, IF the team falls significantly out of contention. It might become harder to move Robinson to a increasingly desperate contender who might or might not have a temporary or permanent need @ 2B.
 
sorry, didn't see it. just came to this thread.

wonder how many years and the yearly salary he will look for.

Sky's the limit with Boras as his agent..ie...upper limit perhaps ~a decade @ 20MM+? Boras will squeeze the Yankees, knowing full well that he is their "franchise" player and "true" Yankee after Jeter, who may be washed up @ least on the IF @ SS. Who knows yet, if Derek will fully recover from his ankle fracture @ age 38 1/2?
 
Youkilis might want to sign with the Tribe, IMO, even though ARod might not be able to play the position @ 3B at all next season. The Yankees might have a logjam @ DH, with at first Jeter, later ARod and maybe Ibanez as well (IF they sign him) which would mean that if Youkilis gets injured himself, the team might not have the DH position open for him to get in any ABs upon his return from a DL stint, and take a break occasionally from playing 3B.
 
I hope the crumb signs with the yankees, so we won't have to see his ugly mofo 18 times a season, unless of course he gets injured again.

Yeah, Yuckilis will probably be injured at least once next season and go on the DL, as a Yankee or Indian.
 
It looks like the indians are signing mark reynolds, if so puts a damper on yousukilis in cleveland.

Looks like yankees get youkilis.

yankees and yousuckilus agree to one year deal.

Youkilis will be 6th player from 2004 Red Sox to later play for Yankees. Others: Johnny Damon, Derek Lowe, Mike Myers, Bellhorn, Embree.

Youkilis likely won't get anywhere near as much grief from Bosox fans, as Damon had as a newly pinstriped Yankee, b/c of the circumstances surrounding his departure, and the fact that he became a White Sox for part of last season afterward. But it probably would be difficult to differentiate between hearing the mouth-breathing pink-hatter fans yelling Booo!! or Youk!! anyway.
