2. Jacoby Ellsbury. Boras still has Ellsbury, who he seemed to compare to an aircraft carrier in a conversation with Jon Heyman of CBS Sports in early September. Boras went to great lengths explaining why Ellsbury is better than Carl Crawford, suggesting he would seek more than the seven-year, $142MM deal Crawford signed after the 2010 season. Of course, the numbers floated in September are usually much higher than the final price. Ellsbury missed three weeks in September due to a foot injury, but appears fine for the playoffs.
