Now that's a freak of nature.

How bout this...he has the tools to be a successful CF longterm but right now he's not better defensively than Cameron, which is why he's playing LF. Maybe in a year or two he can move back to CF.

This is from Peter Gammons, "I remember in ’84 or ’85, when the Yankees got Rickey Henderson in a trade with the A’s, I was doing a story on him in beautiful downtown Winter Haven. He said to me, ‘The beating you take when you steal 70 to 100 bases a year is incredible.’ Now, with Rickey, he went into the bag so hard, head first, he was beating up his hands and legs. He said, ‘It’s really hard to play centerfield and run 100 times a year.’ Barry Bonds has told me the same thing. That’s why he wasn’t playing centerfield in Pittsburgh. He was playing left field." Red Sox brass wanted Jack in LF...Big difference! To all you morons saying he “can’t beat out a 37 year old in CF”…

Congrats on being able to run fast and jump high in a controlled setting while wearin shorts and a t-shirt...ill be infinitely more impressed when he develops into the kind of dominating lead off man who consistently beats the throw to first on short and deep infield grounders and also stretches would-be singles into doubles than I am with his ability to make quick cuts around 3 cones I think ellsbury is solid and will continue to get better which is y I don’t want to see him leave boston….but I gota agree with the premise of this blog: theres nothing more useless than a combine at any level of sports, high school straight thru the pros.
