Kevin Youkilis was watching when rookie Will Middlebrooks homered twice in the same game in Kansas City, hitting home runs down both foul lines. "They should have put a foul pole in center field so he could hit one off that, too," Youkilis said. "Pretty amazing to watch. Great for him to come up here at this stage and perform at a high level." Youkilis also is not oblivious to the discussions of how the emergence of Middlebrooks could impact him.
