Agreed, not to mention he still has the talent (somewhere anyway) to hit .300 and hit a few dingers. However, no matter how he did this season I was in favor of Ellsbury in CF come '08. I don't know but seeing Coco out of the lead-off spot has added a level of annoyance for me, he just seems useless in the 8 hole and a waste of 600 ABs. I would almost rather see WMP in tehre and K 200 times, just because he woudl still hit 20 or so bombs. As for Jacoby he should definately be considered for AAA, he's on (A-ROD) fire right now.
