Youkilis leads Sox with five errors

That’s not a typo. Kevin Youkilis leads the Boston Red Sox in errors with five.

The Stat Man brings this up not to trash Youk but to demonstrate how good the Red Sox D has been. Youkilis has played a stellar first. So much so the Red Sox felt comfortable letting J.T. Snow—a former Gold Glove—go.

But here’s an even more surprising number regarding the Greek God of Walks. He’s second on the team in steals with four, one behind Coco Crisp. Granted, CC missed two months, but did you ever think you’d be talking about Youkilis as a base running threat? The numbers don’t lie, folks.
