Kevin Youklis is the Greek god of walks. Named such by Billy Beane the A’s GM, who really wanted to trade for him due to his unorthodox appearance and undervalued penchant for getting on base. The Red Sox refuses to let him go. This was a notable part of the money ball book, get the “fat kid” who the traditional scouts hated, but had overlooked skills. Zobrist, while good at walking, is not as good at OBP as Youklis was. I don’t think Zobrist is a Greek name even. Youklis at least was greekish changed family name to hide their Jewish heritage during immigration in Europe.
In conclusion Kevin Youklis is the Greek god of walks. Billy Beane is the Grant Peterson of baseball.
