Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Jacoby Ellsbury #1 made me laugh. He's a fine player and all but he doesn't project as a superstar like Bruce, Upton, or Braun.

Obviously, Bruce was a choice and was not taken. I know Zimmerman was available as was Tulowitszki. There was another name or 2, but I can't recall.
They also said that Ryan Freel was a great baserunner, so I'd take their opinions with a grain of salt anyway;)
Awesome week for Bruce though. Baseball shouldn't be as easy as he's made it look to be.
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to scratch my head that Ellsbury was #1 on that list.
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Yeah, I think you could make very solid cases for Braun or Zimmerman, but Ellsbury as #1?? I don't get that.
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Some people just completely lose their heads over players who can run really, really fast.
