Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Q & A with Kevin Youkilis

Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis took some time out of his holiday schedule to answer questions from the readers of The Bottom Line blog. Here's a peek:

This past season was full of career bests for you: .312 BA, 29 HR, 115 RBI... but your numbers have typically faded in the second half. Did you do something different in the pre-season or during the season this year to make sure you didn't "burn out."

I didn't do anything different, but just didn't have any of the little, nagging injuries that I'd had to play through in the past. I work hard every off-season to be in the best possible shape, and just was able to carry it through the season a little better last year. Plus, I was a little more aggressive in certain counts and game situations, and that helped my power and productivity numbers.

Youk also discussed finding his used undies on ebay, his funky batting stance and his favorite moments as a Red Sox... clikc over and read more at The Bottom Line.
