Millar vs Youkilis

If you read this space with any frequency - then you know how I loathe Kevin Millar. I blame him for the Red Sox not wnning the AL East last year. Remember that the Yankees only won the East last year based on a tie-breaker. Look at what Kevin Millar did up to the end of July last year vs what Kevin Youkilis (who was squandered on the bench last year) has done this year

Millar - .281 BA / 35 R / 4 HR / 38 RBI /
Youkilis - .303 BA / 58 R / 10 HR / 42 RBI

Let me just add that so far this year Youkilis has hit .336 with runners on base; .324 with runners in scoring position and .389 with RISP and 2 outs. Last year Millar hit .251 with runners on; .221 with RISP and a measley .192 with RISP and 2 outs.

God how I loathe Kevin Millar.
