Yesterday, Steve Silva of the Boston Globe caught up with Kevin Youkilis, and had a chance to ask him about moving from first base to third base. Here's what Youk had to say.
"I enjoy third base because I've been there my whole career," he said. "It's a little bit more of a challenge. I like the challenge ... of trying to get better at a position that I need to get better at and it's going to be a spring training of challenging myself and challenging myself and throughout the year challenging myself to be a better third baseman than I am the day before."Rather than being bitter about being forced to change positions, Youkilis is positive. He's not complaining to the media about the Red Sox jerking him around. Instead, he's looking forward to the challenge of playing third base again full time. That's refreshing. Michael Young would be wise to follow his lead.
