What's wrong with Ellsbury?

Found August 11, 2008 on Sox Addict: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jacoby Ellsbury
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

Jacoby Ellsbury is 8 for his last 16 with 2 HR, 5 RBI, and 3 SB. That is all fine and well but I wouldn't be too quick to declare his slump as officially over. Jim Rice mentioned on his site that Ellsbury has changed a few things in his swing and is now making good solid contact on the ball. If he's getting hits, stealing bases, and making tremendous diving catches in the outfield, then what's missing?

Well Paul Byrd is off to the Bosox Good for him! He'll get another shot at the playoffs, where he just might have been the Tribe's most effective starter last season. The good news is it won't be the Yankees that Byrd will be helping to get to, and through, the post-season. Although, quite frankly, there are teams I would rather see him help than the Red Sox...
