He needs to improve on reading the flight of balls when he comes in or goes back. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/605017 605017 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 9:20:02 EDT kffl.com 27 days 6 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/605017 Jacoby Ellsbury could be moved to left field in 2010, according to the Boston Herald.

Our View: Ellsbury is an average defender, at best, in center field, and he could have a much larger defensive impact on the game in the tiny left field at Fenway Park. Whether or not Jason Bay returns to Boston will obviously affect this. Stay tuned. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/601119 601119 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 9:40:01 EDT fanball.com 29 days 5 hours 45 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/601119 The Red Sox have considered moving Jacoby Ellsbury to left field, reports the Boston Herald's Michael Silverman. Ellsbury fared poorly in defensive metrics available to the public in 2009, numbers that don't agree with Boston's internal evaluations that had him as an average defender at worst.

He led the Majors in steals and his 10 triples were best in the AL. Most important, he avoided the extended slumps that had held him back in 2008, batting at least .287 in each month of the season. Considering he’s only 26, there’s no doubt that the blazing-fast center fielder hasn’t come close to reaching his ceiling yet, which is a scary proposition for opposing pitching staffs going into 2010. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/599720 599720 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 2:48:15 EDT mlb.com 30 days 12 hours 37 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/599720 The Associated Press reports that Boston Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury went 2-for-4 against the Boston Red Sox Friday, Oct. 9, in Game 2 of the ALDS, with a triple and a run scored. Ellsbury's fourth-inning triple snapped a streak of 24 consecutive hitless at-bats in the postseason for him, and the run he scored snapped Boston's streak of 20 consecutive scoreless innings. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/575486 575486 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 7:20:02 EDT kffl.com 44 days 8 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/575486 Jacoby Ellsbury went 2-for-4 with a triple and scored the only run for the Red Sox in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Angels. Boston now trails 2-0 in the ALDS.

Our View: Ellsbury was the only Boston position player to record multiple hits in the game and his triple gave the Sox a very brief 1-0 lead. But Jared Weaver proved too much for the rest of the lineup and Boston fell short. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/575292 575292 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 1:20:02 EDT fanball.com 44 days 14 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/575292 The Boston Globe's Amalie Benjamin reports that Boston Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury stole his 70th base of the season Sunday, Oct. 4. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/564971 564971 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:40:01 EDT kffl.com 50 days 45 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/564971 The Associated Press reports Boston Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury stole his major league-leading 69th base of the year Friday, Oct. 2. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/562418 562418 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:36:01 EDT kffl.com 51 days 15 hours 49 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/562418 News: Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury went 3 for 5 with a stolen base and a run scored Thursday against the Indians.

Our View: His 68 stolen bases lead the major leagues, and, of course, are a big reason why he will be a great fantasy option in the outfield in 2010. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/560208 560208 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:12:02 EDT fanball.com 52 days 17 hours 13 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/560208 Joey Gathright was productive in tonight's 12-0 loss to Toronto at Fenway Park, as he went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles.

Our View: Gathright accounted for two of Boston's three hits tonight, the other being recorded by Rocco Baldelli. Gathrigh started the game in center field to give Jacoby Ellsbury a day off as the Sox gear up for the playoffs. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/558383 558383 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:20:01 EDT fanball.com 53 days 17 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/558383 RedSox.MLB.com's Ian Browne reports Boston Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury is hitting .368 in the last 17 games. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/547061 547061 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:00:04 EDT kffl.com 59 days 4 hours 25 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jacoby_Ellsbury/547061 News: Red Sox OF Jacoby Ellsbury continued his season-ending hot streak with another big game at Kansas City on Thursday, going 3 for 6 with two stolen bases, two runs scored and an RBI.
