JACOBY ELLSBURY RUMORS

Ellsbury Could Be Back?

AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh Sometimes all it takes is 1 game to break a guy out of a slump. Last night coould end up being that game for Jacoby Ellsbury. At least, I hope ot is. And I think I speak I speak for Red Sox Nation when I say that. Ellsbury, I think, would also like for that to be the case, especially seeing as he'll be a free agent at the end of the season. The hitting coaches...

Jacoby Ellsbury’s Solid Effort Against White Sox Doesn’t Silence Leadoff Debate, But It Turns Volume Down a Bit

One game doesn’t make a season, and in most cases, one game doesn’t turn a season around. When you’re facing the pressure that Jacoby Ellsbury is facing, though, you take what you can get.

Jacoby Ellsbury Too Talented Not to Pull Out of Slump, Become Game-Changer Red Sox Know He Can Be

Baseball is a funny game. While other sports have demanding schedules that can span over a long period of months, there’s not much that can measure up to the day-in, day-out grind of baseball. It can be difficult to stay focused 162 games each and every time, but it’s something that best in the game can learn to adapt to. That’s not just about ballplayers, though. Everyone...

Jacoby Ellsbury May Be Dropped Lower in Red Sox Lineup

Jacoby Ellsbury Is Red Sox’ Best Leadoff Option, But Lineup Change Could Spark Struggling Outfielder

The 2013 Red Sox pride themselves on working deep into counts and generating baserunners, which makes it rather ironic that their leadoff hitter, Jacoby Ellsbury, isn’t exactly pacing the offense in either department. Ellsbury, who received his first game off on Sunday, has been struggling at the dish of late, and manager John Farrell could soon find himself with a decision to...

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Entering last night’s series opener here against the Twins, in which he stole a base and drove in the tying run with an infield single, Ellsbury was batting .249 — including a 6-for-46 funk over his...

Sure, yesterday...
