I was surprised yesterday when Sean McAdam and Steve Buckley knocked Ellsbury's defense. He's made some exciting plays, but perhaps he's not strong day-to-day?
Bucholz/Ellsbury does sound like a lot, but I'm about the team. If Theo can fill the hole in LF I'm all for the deal. BTW, you're all free to throw these words back at me in a couple of years. But Casey Kelly better be a damn good ballplayer if he's that untouchable.
