Come on fred. We all knew Ells wasn't going to be with the Red Sox in 2014. Of course I would have much rather seen him go to Seattle. But he went where the money is. Just makes me appreciate players like Papi and Pedey who WANT to play for the Red Sox. Jacoby's disposition, to me, was much like JD Drew's. He didn't give a f*** where he played or if he sucked or if he was injured. Pay me.
Nothing wrong with that either, just not a quality I admire because of my love of the game. But I understand completely when players go for the money.
It's not the end of the world. I have tons of faith in Ben C. And I don't expect to win every year. Just LOVE THIS TEAM, no matter what. As I have since I was a kid.
