Scouting Report: Ellsbury was on of the best players in the NCAA in 2005. He is very fast, plays excellent defense, and has shown a great ability to get on base. Decent gap power for a centerfielder who projects as a lead-off hitter. Has often been compared to Johnny Damon. Also said to be a team leader.

I like the Damon comparsion, but this guy is much faster then Damon.

Ellsbury went 0-2 in his debut with 2 BB's.

Where is he playing? I'm too lazy to look it up. Spinners?

Yeah, i just saw him tonight, i forget how he did though, I mainly went because my teammates brother Zak Farkes plays for the Spinners as well. Also Gabe Kapler was there on a rehab stint tonight, he didn't do too well. He went 0-4 with two Ks and two weak pop ups, one that was dropped, later causing him to score a run.

well remember that sox did place him on 15 day DL with a back strain--remember about how curt's first starter and closer appearances were in triple A, then he progressed with more playing time

Jacoby went 1-5 last night and stole 2 more bases. He's up to 8 SBs in 8 games.

Nice! Good to get some speed in the system. Plus he doesn't strike out much, walks enough to get on base well over a .400 clip. For his first exposure to professional baseball, he's handling himself well.

We might see him in Greenville soon, if Corlesetti continues to hit (there's another Dustin Pedoria for you).

What are his stats so far like average, OBP, etc? 8 stolen bases in 8 games is impressive, hopefully he'll continue that thorugh the minor leageus and beyond.
