    Interesting about Jim Ellsbury. That's devotion to your son, driving from Oregon to Ft. Myers. I'll be down in Ft.Myers as a spectator on Sunday, and then back in mid-March for some freelance writing assignments. It's great that baseball has returned.

    Wow, that's an incredible drive. Glad Mr. Ellsbury got there OK.


    I saw Ellsbury play for Portland a couple of times last year and was very impressed. I'm hoping he at least starts there this season so I can see him a couple more times.



    Thanks again, Rob, for another informative entry.

    Rob, I was referred to your blog by Seth Mnookin's blog and I've enjoyed reading all of your entries since then. Your writing is informative and like others have said free of the usual Boston media down on the team negativity. Keep up the good work.

    That's a great story about Jacoby's dad. Even better because Jacoby got a big hit tonight, plus showed off his wheels.

    Thank You for giving us a fresh out outlook on the team Rob.


    Your not stuck up like Tony Mazz from the Herald or an idiot like the Curly Haired Boy friend from the Globe. (Don't he realize he has the personality of a lime?)



    Keep up the good work!

    Great insider info! It makes me feel like I'm there. I read you every day. Jacoby Ellsbury has quite a dad! I have a HS sophmore son who excels in three sports. Colleges interested already. Maybe I can drive with Jacoby's dad!

    Rob,
    Just wanted to join the chorus of positive reviews. You have now joined a select group, my go to guys for baseball info: Dirt Dogs, Buster Olney, and you. I read lots of others (Edes, Ryan, Ian Brown, Soxaholix, etc., but I hit BDD and Olney first thing everyday.)



    Keep up the excellent work!!!

    That, along with not the most fluid of execution during various first base experiments, led Pena to the outfield for good.


    Ah ... delicately put. Thanks!

    <p>Robbo,
    BaseballReference.com     lists Alex Ochoa's last game as September 2002. What gives? Has he been in Japan? What's he doing at the plate, b/c his outfield skills (excuse me, skillz) look mad.

    Rob (and blogger Tom) -- many thanks for the "draft & follow" explanation in yesterday's posts! Perfectly clear now ... cheers!
