My Take
Jacoby Ellsbury is one of those players who, when healthy, made you feel like you were watching something genuinely special. Growing up in Madras, Oregon — a tiny town most people can't find on a map — he made it all the way to the Red Sox and was a key piece of those 2007 and 2013 World Series championship rosters, which is no small thing. His speed was flat-out electric; that 2011 season where he stole 39 bases and hit over .320 was an MVP-caliber year that doesn't get talked about enough. And the historical weight of who he is matters — the first player of Navajo descent in Major League Baseball. The injuries that ate into his Yankees years are genuinely frustrating to look back on, because the talent was never in question. You don't forget a centerfielder who moves like that.
