Congratulations to Jacoby on the big payday, and thanks for everything you did in Boston to contribute to the titles.

That said ... Dang, I hate the Yankees. And I hate seeing all these ex-Sox going to play for them—Boggs, Clemens, Damon, now Ells. This was purely a business decision, clearly.

Still, Ellsbury is injury-prone, and he's hitting the wrong side of 30, so he's probably got only a couple of years left that will be both productive and relatively healthy. So I and other Sox fans might watch him with regret over the next couple seasons, but after that we'll be glad it's the Yankees, not Boston, paying mucho dinero for a broken-down player.

He'll be injured 2 weeks after spring training. Although, I'm only saying that because I'm bitter. 'Coby was my dude a couple days ago  :-[
