Ellsbury is going to play OF in Pawtucket tomorrow.
He seems pretty blah about coming back: http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/05/ellsbury_will_s.html which I guess means he's not ready.
Cameron will probably be back with the team on Monday but I'm willing to bet his hernia flares up very soon.
He'll come back, the injury will flare up, and he'll be ineffective. I mean, the guy thinks he's going to need offseason surgery. No way he'll play at 100%, and we'll all be fed up with it by June.
I read a blog post the other day that mentioned Andruw Jones. He probably wouldn't cost too much and he's be a righty OF bat to fill in until Cameron comes back (which will probably be later rather than sooner...). He's had a terrible May but he could potentially help the team.
Since Theo is clearly an avid reader of Talksox, I say we provide him some ideas to improve the team.
Example mentioned this in the Ortiz thread and I think it warrants its own thread:
I didn't know this but apparently the guy never played a game sober. This article makes for an interested read.

I think drugs probably explain the problems the Red Sox are facing this year.
