Jacoby Ellsbury MVP candidacy was solidified after a strong weekend in NY: Red Sox are in a kind of crisis, but if Jacoby Ellsbury, who does not want to be connected first. Ellsbury played another great weekend of hitting the go-ahead three-run home run in 14 innings that have proven to be the game-winner, when the Red Sox needed a victory going to the final series of the season, three-game set in Baltimore who need to win for the playoffs, and they need to maintain a hope of success, when there are. And if they’re going to dominate, it’s going to have to start with their number-one hitter, who’s been nothing short of dominant all season. Dustin Pedroia has slumped. Adrian Gonzalez can’t get his shoulder around to drive the ball. Kevin Youkilis, for all we know, can barely stand. 
Carl Crawford’s been an abomination. For some reason totally unknown, JD Drew is back on the range Sunday night Josh Reddick is written, it was pretty horrible for him lately. But despite everything, had Ellsbury, contact hitter and power, field his position without problems yes, that percentage is 1.000% Fielding athletes to get into scoring position regularly and easily making it easy for the rest of his teammates, many of whom have done everything possible to make it difficult for themselves. Of course, none of it will mean anything if the Red Sox don’t at least make the playoffs, much less win the World Series, but it’s hard to ignore the kind of season that Boston’s leadoff man has had. With no discredit to Detroit’s Justin Verlander, far and away the best pitcher in the American League and probably in baseball this season, Ellsbury’s been the lone regular on a roster that’s full of ailing, underperforming divas, keeping his mouth shut and just going to work all season long. After a season in which he only played 18 games due to multiple rib injuries, many criticized Ellsbury (inappropriately) and the Red Sox’ training staff rightly for being too soft. He answered his critics in style, becoming the first Red Sox player in history to join the 30-30 club team, and do not speak much, if anything, cannot make him the perfect athlete in Boston. Curtis Grander son is going to MVP, but its collapse in September has led many to cool its value. If it is between the Gold Glove defender and a guy who plays every five games, I'll be on a regular basis.
