    Per wlw news Buster Olney reporting this is real, but Boston wants Bailey or Latos.

    No
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    Re: Jacoby Ellsbury?

    Is this all stemming from that speculative piece of Olney's on possible landing spots for Ellsbury where he guesses the cost and not based on actual rumors? I don't have ESPN Insider so I can't read his speculation part.

    Some small-market teams must desperately cling to their young pitching, which is what the Red Sox are looking for. Some teams, such as the Royals, have other priorities.

    But here are some teams that could theoretically be a fit in an Ellsbury deal. (WARNING: SPECULATION AHEAD)

    Ellsbury plays in a BA heaven. Pagan has played in hitter's nightmares (and he hit .306 in 2009). When it comes to hitting for average, they're essentially the same guy.

    That's crazy. Ellsbury has a one-year contract, had one great year among some otherwise average seasons and can't stay healthy. He's worth a couple prospects, nothing more.

    Another piece of evidence that Boston is living in another reality
    [Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

    And in Buster Olney's world the Reds have to pay the Red Sox just to talk to them. I'm actually mildly surprised Olney acknowledged the Reds' existence.

    The article states that Mike Leake may interest Boston.

    Olney lists the best realisitic fits for Ellsbury in this order: 1) Braves--Teheran or Delgado as a centerpiece-- 2)Reds 3)Rangers 4)Phillies 5)Mariners.

    The article is very vague, so you didn't miss much.
    Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

    Lacking anything concrete = vague = Buster Olney

    Well, they are, but we already had plenty of evidence of that. And I almost can't blame them for it since the Punto trade. But I'm also just not convinced they want to trade Ellsbury unless someone does something almost as stupid as that.

    Sorry, I'm just not that desperate to replace Drew Stubbs in CF.

    Re: Jacoby Ellsbury?

    Bailey or Latos for Ellsbury is laughable.

    I'm sure some in Boston would say Corcino for Ellsbury is laughable.

    Personally, I wouldn't completely rule out Cingrani or Leake.
    Go BLUE!!!
