Ellsbury's broken foot.

[steveringo]

He went 9-18 with 1 walk & 2 strikeouts... Scored seven runs (and in each game)... And stole a base in every game....


Boras = drooling.

I could care less whether or not Boras is drooling.

We're not going to keep good players if we only deal with agents who let their clients get
underpaid.

I don't want the Red Sox overpaying for a guy who has played 130+ games just 4 times, once at an elite level (2011) and once at a very good level (2013). Not when you can get a guy like Choo who has been very good in 4 out of the last 5 seasons and would cost a lot less.

I agree Choo has been very consistant over the years and every bit as good as Ellsbury but without the fanfare. Choo has more power but doesnt steal the bases Ellsbury does. however, for the money I'd go with Choo but I don't see the Reds giving him up easily, if at all.

I think Boston will go with Ellsbury or Bradley.

If they do not pay Ellsbury, I don't think they'll pay Choo. They may decide to stck with Victorino/Nava/Gomes/Carp/Bradley...

The New York Metropolitan Baseball Club is going to sign both Choo and Ellsbury (at least I hope).

That wouldn't be a bad idea.....

Haha obviously they will not sign both but I would actually be rather shocked if they didn't land 1 of the 2. With roughly $60 million in dead money coming off the books and a desperate need for an outfielder I expect them to go all out for one of them. They'd likely deal some of their young arms for a bat in right then.
