Jacoby Ellsbury going to outdo Carl Crawford Numbers in FA

[Quake Griffin]

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.

no beef with the better than Crawford flow.

the money?
yes...wow.

Well if that is the case I sure hope the Red Sox have learned the lesson and won't give out that kind of cash to a player like that. I love Ellsbury, but that is silly money.

[Da Schwab]

Very silly money, indeed. But I hope there's some way that the Yankees land him.

[Starkiller]

I would hope that my Reds would get him, but not at that price. No way.
