The Sox made the right decision on Ellsbury. His contract has become a problem for the $panks. I know its a few years down the road, but do you give Bogaerts and/or Betts the big contracts that the Sox didn't give Ellsbury?

I would. They don't seem to have the injury concerns that we had with Ellsbury.

i almost think we should try and get both of them looked up to LTC now.....either way, both will get to FA at an age much lower than when Ells signed with the yankees so i would feel more comfortable with a lengthy contract....

The AGE factor is a good point.

Oh with Betts I'd absolutely try - how much would it cost to buy a couple of FA years. Answer is a lot - but both sides have some incentives to do it.

Since the RS are paying a hitting coach, who got a lot of credit earlier in the year, why don't they ask him nicely to do something to correct whatever has happened to JBJ? It can't be that the league has discovered a flaw in his swing, since the same thing happened last year: for a while he hits everything. Then falls off a cliff.

Some guys are just super-streaky like that. Hopefully he catches fire over the last month of the season again.

JBJ has a history of streakiness. The rest of the offense has been fine. Chili Davis is the man.

I know he does. That's why I think it should be correctible. The same thing happened to Ellsbury years back-- surely there must be things that hitting coaches can do to shake someone out of such slumps. One tactic I heard from a coach--forget who it was--was that he would simply make something up (you're not watching the ball, you need to kick higher, you're gripping the bat too loosely), and have the guy focus exclusively on that, nothing else. It was complete b.s., but it jolted the guy into focussing on one thing, letting the natural ability do the rest. (The same thing of course works in golf, which is why everyone has a thousand golf tips they have tried and firmly believe they work: they're all useless, but concentrating on any one of them will generally 'get your mind right' and result in improvement). Maybe players are so sophisticated now that they're beyond being 'tricked' effectively in this way.

[Slasher9]

I believe JBj is too pull happy at the moment. He needs to find his LF swing

LOVE this idea!!!

[Maxbialystock]

The WAR and other stats have made it clear JBJ is vastly better than Ellsbury even before a salary comparison. That said, Ellsbury, while underperforming, is still somewhat useful to the Yankees and probably better than Carl Crawford was playing for the Sox.

by "other stats" im sure you were referring to the Slasher Tracker.

i believe JE would come out on top in a CF comparison between JE and Craw for 2016 (and probably most years).
