Since there are so many retarded questions about this rookie who has done NOTHING yet, and is not going to be as good as everyone thinks. Let's put a REAL question up. I say Ellsbury has an average season of .285 w/ 10 HR and 40-50 RBIs. He'll steal 20-40 bases a couple times in his career, but he'll basically be a Coco Crisp, or Shannon Stewart clone. At best he will be platooning or doing the Juan Pierre thing.
Career stats: 15 years .277 BA 159 HR 688 RBI 900 Runs 316 SB and possibly a Gold Glove. The last 5 years of his career he'll be getting less than 400AB's a season and he'll fade away into nothingness.
Who out there thinks Ellsbury is WAYYYYYY overhyped and the Red Sux are in for a big letdown. There are tons of better young athletes out there like Yvonni Gallardo, Tim Lincecum, BJ Upton, and Evan Longoria to name just a few. Just because it's Boston people on jumping on the bandwagon that's bound to collapse.
Who else sees the obvious?
