ellsbury sitting again

[Zhangman1]

Ellsbury out of the lineup again. Is his quad bothering him that much?

[chargerss24]

Can't be bothering him that much if he comes off the bench and steals a base...

[Zhangman1]

anyone think he'll start anytime soon?

I was expecting him to sit yesterday against Kazmir. Didn't expect Monday though. Not sure if he's going to get consistent playing time until Crisp cools off.

This is way too inconsistent for playoff time; I really need his speed, but it's just too unreliable.

I picked up J.D. Drew somehow off waivers. Anyone think I should just start Drew the rest of the week in place of Ellsbury?

Yeah, he was sitting either way against Kazmir yesterday as with Ortiz. Coco has been hot too, so Tito is probably letting him get some rest right now. He'll split some time this weekend with Crisp though. Coco won't stay hot for that long - as evidenced by his pop-up to end the game last night.
