If you believe in Zone Rating, then:
Jacoby Ellsbury is not a defensive star. He's actually rated lower than
Jason Bay in Zone Rating.
JD Drew is best in the OF for the Red Sox.
MIke Cameron is also very high. Equal to Drew.
And Youkilis is better than Adrian Gonzalez at 1st Base for a zone
rating
Having said that. I'm not sold on trading Ellsbury.
I like having that kind of player on the team. That can make something happen
with speed.
