The Red Sox boast two very impressive 26-year olds who are home-grown draft picks that made it to the big club. Both are maturing before our eyes & both are unselfish, a trait hard to find in pro athletes these days.
Jacoby Ellsbury played a Gold Glove caliber CF last year. What was his comment about moving to LF to accomodate Mike Cameron? As long as it helps the team, I'm fine with it. Ells & Cameron will be talking during Spring Training & through the regular season to help each other & learn from each other.
Jon Lester was given the usual leading question by reporters about the addition of Lackey & if he still considered himself the ace. Lester said he is only focused on making his starts every 5th day. He has no interest in being labeled the ace. Jon just wants to pitch his 200 innings again & help the team win.
No egos. No long statemnents that start & end with "I" this & "I" that. Jacoby Ellsbury & Jon Lester are just 2 down-to-earth kids that we are lucky to have on this 2010 team & we have the privilege to watch for another season.
