Not many guys can go home after work & tell their wife that they got an 800% raise at work. Jacoby Ellsbury could - if he was married.
Ells avoided arbitration this week with a pay increase from $1 million to $8 million. Not bad for a guy who was injured most of 2010 & then came back to be the MVP runner-up in 2011.
2011 was a special year for Jacoby. He may never duplicate those numbers again, but we'll take something close to it for 2012. Look for Ells to continue to shine as he heads towards free agency in 2013.

They need to sign this guy long term. If it takes dealing Youk to make him happy, so be it.
