Ellsbury is far more advanced as a hitter than Damon at age 24. Not power-wise, but as a hitter. He could end up like a Pete Rose kind of comp.
He has doubles power and can turn singles into doubles and doubles into triples. He is kind of rough in the OF though. He will get better but we have seen amazing defense from Crisp this year. Hope he fetches us a 1B in a trade this offseason. He’s got 2 years at 5 million a year with an option for a 3rd at 8 million. That’s reasonable coin for his D and speed.
