Being A.J. Ellis
A.J. Ellis wasn’t supposed to make it. At least not according to the A.J. Ellis whom the Los Angeles Dodgers took in the 18th round of the 2003 draft. That Ellis wasn’t planning on a career the major leagues. And yet, here he is, 10 years later with at least one facet of his game considered to be elite, and a regular job on a good team in the big leagues. How he got here â€...
Greinke "regrets" not telling A.J. Ellis about history with Carlos Quentin
If it seemed like A.J. Ellis was slow to get out and try to divert a charging Carlos Quentin, it's because he was.  Ellis, not necessarily familiar with the bad blood between Zack Greinke and Quentin, had no reason to believe a seemingly innocuous hit-by-pitch to the arm would result in an all-out brawl.  Not on a 3-2 count in a  one-run game, at least.  But it did, and...
I Got A (Spring) Fever and The Only Prescription Is More A.J. Ellis Autos.
A.J. Ellis is massively overlooked in the cardboard game, just as he was overlooked in the post-Russell Martin era until 2012. Seriously, Rod Barajas? Get that out of this piece. I digress.It's become apparent that if you want an A.J. Ellis card with just A.J. Ellis on it, the autographed route is the only way to go. Which is fine by me. And daaaamn, what a gorgeous thing this...

Dodgers' catcher A.J. Ellis: the greatest thing ever
#AJ2KC
Fans tend to be hyperbolic about players (especially prospects), but I think the headline for this post is just right.
A.J. Ellis, the Dodgers' 31-year-old catcher, is in fact the greatest thing ever.
He drove in the winning run last night in the way that fits his game best -- with a walk. Yes, Ellis went Shrimp on us, and Twitter and blog world absolutely...

A.J. Ellis
While Jon Weisman at Dodger Thoughts is (rightfully) starting the "A.J. Ellis All-Star campaign," I'm thinking we need to start a "Move A.J. Ellis up in the order campaign," though, it doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
But with Dee Gordon's unsurprising early-season struggles, perhaps it's time to shake up the lineup...
