Scouting Report: On-base machine, draws a great deal of walks, hits for average, somewhat athletic for a player of his size.  Has shown extra-base power but doesn't hit too many home runs.  In the minors, Youk proved to be an adequate third-baseman, but has flashed a spectacular glove at first with Boston.
