Wondering where the power might come from without Manny’s bat? Look to the big guy playing center. Jacoby Ellsbury spent the offseason working out and is now 195 pounds causing Pedroia to say he was “jacked.”
“I think Jacoby is already an impact defender and impact baserunner,” said GM Theo Epstein. “With his track record in the minor leagues, he’s a guy we feel will hit and get on base enough to be a real weapon offensively moreso than he already is.”
With the sophomore slump over, Ellsbury could have and All-Star season. He will be playing everyday with Coco gone and he seems to be ready for the grind of a long season this year.
