“Knowing that Johnny Damon can’t play forever, Boston drafted a possible future replacement in Jacoby. For U. of Oregon in 2005, Ellsbury stroked .426 while flashing blazing speed (6.55 in the 60) and a brilliant glove in center field. Add in his exceptional plate discipline and it’s no wonder he’s being hailed as a potential Big League leadoff man. He starred for Lowell (A) in his first pro season.“
