Jacoby Ellsbury Now a Boras Disciple

I think Boston is setting everyone up for a fall on this Ellsbury guy. Punch and Judy hitter they are dangling as trade bait. Great White Hope in America's most bigoted City. They act like he's Mickey Mantle, but probably closer to Juan Pierre. All in hopes of getting Santana.....buyer beware.

Funny the Red Sox had no problem winning this year.

4 or 5 years. Boras could be dead by then

I keep hearing these bizarre numbers from Red Sox fans. Things like the Yankees not winning in this decade. If you mean decade in what it actually means (last ten years or a period of ten years) then the Yankees have won 3 (98,99,00) and the Sox have won two. If you want to make stupid claims like being the best team of this millennium, then fine that is the same thing as saying the best team in the last 7 years.

I figure I will adress the two idiots by who posted a comment first. Scott M you are a poor, pathetic person, using bigotry in a case where it doesnt even make sense. Congratulations, you just made yourself look like an idiot, though im guessing you probably do that on a daily basis anyways. tobrien28, yea the yankees have won 3 world series in the past ten years, but they havent done anything since the last time they won. losing twice in the world series to teams that they shouldve been able to easily beat. But the big reason why they havent won in the past 4-5 years is because of one man, the sox's current ace in Josh Beckett. And yes the red sox have only one two, but it looks like they will win alot more in the upcoming years. They have a decently young team for the most part, and Theo Epstein has shown to be the smartest general manager in the MLB. I doubt that Jacoby Ellsbury will be traded, though I will admit I am wrong if it does happen. Epstein plays the market better than anybody, only taking an opportunity if it falls on his lap. Why give up more than you should for something you probably don't even need. Notice how he ignored Scott Boras at the meetings after the world series when Alex Rodriguez was a free agent. Yes boston has a high salary, and has made some big signings in order to win, But where they mark themselves better than the Yankees and where the Yankees are trying to copy the Sox on now is creating a mix of a skilled team through free agency, trading, and the farm system, the last one being the point where the Sox have the advantage.
So to finalize things, bigotry has nothing to do with it Scott you moron, and tobrien28, the red sox will be better than the yankees for years to come.

If you think you can predict baseball for a whole season AND the playoffs (which you did by claiming the Red Sox will win many more than the Yankees in the coming years) it is you who is the moron. Should the Yankees get Santana, they will have a ace of their own. The rest of their pitching should be able to match the pitching of the Sox. I wouldn't say the Red Sox are in any better position to win another World Series in the next 10 years than the Yankees.

Just a quick note to Scott M...
The 'great white hope' you refer to happens to be Navajo Indian

Scott M, you are a racist. From your comments, I assume you are black, like those other uber racists, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Tell me....if we had a WET (White Entertainment Television) channel or NAAWP (national association for the advancement of white people) would that would make us racist? Think on that while you watch all your young men impregnate your girls and blame anyone who isn't black.

Between Scott M. and A. C.... I can't tell which one of you is MORE racist!! You are BOTH equally as bad.

Could people take their race squabbles elsewhere? This is a sports blog.

AC - we already have multiple WET channels. Just about every channel out there is comprised of mostly white Americans.

I don't understand why it's important that we not have BET, does it really bother you that much?

Ellsbury came thru solid for the Sox. I would hate to see him leave. No surprise Gagne is going back to Texas. It will be interesting to see how the Yankees fair this season. Really hated to see Torre leave but understandable. It won't be easy filling his shoes. Would like to see Buchholz and Lester back in the Boston lineup as well.

racendirt is obviously the worst person ever because he takes a neutral stance - thats got to be worse than a bigot

hey tobrien28, theres just a few things i can say that can contradict yours. First off the yankees wont be getting santana, and their pitching sucks anyways except for hughes and chamberlain. Second they dont have the farm team of fielders like the red sox do, and their team now except for a-rod and jeter is full of guys past their prime who will be continuing to get worse, that is unless jason giambi can find another way to take steroids again without almost dying in the process. Should the yankees go after erik bedard or dan haren they will most likely give up melky cabrera, one of their top young fielders. O and the reason the yankees stopped going after santana was because of money, cashman convinced the younger steinbrenners that they shouldnt be spending this much money. So get ready for a yankees team that wont go out and spend 10-20 million on each area of the field they could be weak in.
