Jacoby Ellsbury named Red Sox Minor Leagues Base Stealer of the Month: Ellsbury, whom the Sox selected 23rd overall in this year's draft, got his career off to a impressively swift start when he swiped nine bases in as many attempts for Lowell. Ellsbury hit .278 in 36 at-bats for the Spinners with one home run, seven RBI and 10 runs scored. He also drew eight walks while striking out just five times. Ellsbury's July totals are especially impressive considering he has not played since July 23 due to a sore left hamstring. Ellsbury, a 21-year-old out of Oregon State, is expected to return to the Spinners lineup this week.
