I figure he will get 6/90. And i say Henry pays it. And that it happens before the Hot Stove season. I dont think Ellls holds out for big $ or signing late like a lot of Boras clients.

No @ 6/90 to a 29 year old lead-off hitter with a skill that diminishes with age. If he hit with some power, maybe......but he is a 10HR guy, not a 32 HR guy circa 2011.

I would go 4/52 for Ellsbury. A Johnny Damon type deal.

 

Max I'd go would be 4/60. Jacoby's main asset is his speed and that diminishes with age and injuries. If we want comparable defense, we would get that from JBJ for just .5 million per year. The question with Jackie is will he develop the hitting ability. He struggled mightily vs big league pitching. But that could change just a year from now.
