Last year, Pedroia had a major slump as a rookie. Hell, this year, he had a major slump. When I say Jacoby Ellsbury shouldn't be counted out because he's in a slump, the comparison holds water
Hell, Ellsbury has only dipped below .260 for 1 game this season, it's absolutely ludicrous to suggest his status and value as a long-term solution at centerfield should be doubted
