I have heard pundits speculate in recent days as to why Jacoby Ellsbury is not the Sox everyday center fielder right now. This speculation is bound to get more rampant following Jacoby's home run today in a losing cause verse Toronto. Rest assured that he will be the everyday CF before too long. Coco Crisp unfortunately has become expendable. However, he will lack any value if he's been sitting on the bench for the whole year previous to the trading deadline. He is essentially auditioning for other clubs at this point. What the Sox will get for him, I don't know. Perhaps some bullpen help. It appears as though they need it. Despite his struggles at the plate, I think there are a lot of teams who will like Coco's speed and defense. I kind of wish the Sox could hang on to him instead of JD Poo, but no one will want to take on that stupid contract.
Sheesh. Today's game against the Jays was painful. If the Sox can't get past this hex the Blue Jays have over them, it will most certainly cause problems when it comes to challenging for the division. The loss today was made doubly vexing by the fact that Pete was at Yankee Stadium today watching his beloved Stanks beat up on the Deviled Eggs. Oh, wait... they dropped the 'Devil' part from their moniker this year.
