I don't think Ellsbury is a bad player though, he just has to stay healthy. <br /><br />With that said if someone wants him I'll trade him in a heart beat. With that said though I don't think, personal opinion, that slade, Mason or Gamel are better than Ellsbury. <br /><br />I also think Hicks could be, but not yet.

Freaking no trade clauses. and since there is plenty of time left on this contract, I dont see him accepting trades as easily. but this was my thought- eat some of this contract and trade him, as I think he will bounce back and he is significantly better than brett gardner. <br /><br />I imagine that patrick refers to him as a detriment as 1-blocking others that are likely ready to take over the position and contribute 2- this contract was ugly since day 1 and completely a reaction to losing cano.Daryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/12405687520642126665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-22122783795472594822015-12-30T20:51:00.615-05:002015-12-30T20:51:00.615-05:00THE PHOENIX HAS RISEN...and the comment poster hot...THE PHOENIX HAS RISEN...and the comment poster hot line grows longer,<br />and moves faster as we watch.<br /><br />To almost dead on the tracks, a few days ago....and it was.<br />To as to what it has transpired into during the past two days.

I expect him to be better in 2016, he almost has to be if he stays healthy. A big IF I know. <br /><br />Problem with Ellsbury is the same problem with a lot of Yankees, that no trade clause. Also if you know he's a detriment to the team wont other teams too? And if so, why would they want him?Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-72127183748551203092015-12-30T19:29:25.498-05:002015-12-30T19:29:25.498-05:00I know I am not alone, regarding Jacoby Ellsbury.
...I know I am not alone, regarding Jacoby Ellsbury.<br /><br />He is a detriment to this team moving forward.<br />He is blocking a talented group of young players, who are way less expensive, and can be even more productive ....Heathcott, Hicks are<br />the first to come to mind. There are others, but they are blocked.<br /><br />The Yankees are almost done this off season...meaning they would<br />greatly like that talented young / under control pitcher.<br /><br />My wish, my hope....package Ellsbury ( Eat most of the contract, they<br />will still be saving money.)...and any host of young hopefuls, for that<br />pitcher. Throw in Gardner for a two for one, and lets get out of this<br />seaweed muck.<br /><br />Gardner, and Ellsbury at this point, are nothing special. Expect worse<br />stats as the next few years creep by. I cringe.<br />Moving them out opens so many doors. This team will flourish with them gone.<br /><br />Candles lit, and they are not from Taiwan.<br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.com
