It says here that if Jacoby Ellsbury has a great season, the Red Sox will manage to win their third World Series in the last five years. What a run-dynasty-that would be. At the quarter pole of the 2009 season, the Red Sox are a deep and talented team at all positions-plenty of pitching and plenty of hitting. There is no superstar, though, which is why it may be necessary for Ellsbury to have a breakout year. Get on base often, steal often, score often and hit a few lead-off home runs. His steal of home against the Yankees, and twenty-two game hitting streak were the preview. With matinee looks to boot (and Scott Boras as an agent), this should be his year.
