Ellsbury is 30 years old with an injury history. Guys rarely get more healthy as they get into their mid-thirties. I'd be surprised if he plays in 80% of the games over the length of that contract. I still don't want to see him running wild stealing bases against the Sox, though. Any team other than an AL East team would have been fine for him to go to.

	Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
