Jacoby Ellsbury at a Glance
Jacoby McCabe Ellsbury (first name ; born September 11, 1983 in Madras, Oregon) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Boston Red Sox. Ellsbury was first drafted, though did not sign, by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 23rd round of the 2002 MLB Draft; he was then drafted by Boston in 2005, 23rd overall, in the draft, after three years at Oregon State University.
Ellsbury is officially enrolled as a member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes and is the first Native American of Navajo descent to reach the Major Leagues. As of 2008, he is one of only three active non-Hispanic Native American players in Major League Baseball, with the others being Kyle Lohse of the St. Louis Cardinals and Joba Chamberlain of the New York Yankees.

The Can't Miss Kid
There have been some incredible stories this year about some Red Sox rookies. Everyone knows what Clay Buchholz has done in his second big-league start. Hideki Okajima made the AL All Star team and has been the ideal setup man for Jonathan Papelbon. And of course, Dustin Pedroia just keeps on hitting and gets better every game.
In Boston, there is another rookie who laughs in the face of the hype machine. Since being promoted from the Triple A Pawtucket Red Sox, outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury has turned the Major Leagues on its ear. This kid has played in only 10 big league games this year and is already showing that his days in Pawtucket are officially over. Ellsbury has played all three outfield position and has yet to commit an error, and his diving catch Monday night against the Blue Jays was a game saver. Ellsbury has also batted in several different spots in the lineup and has hit .393 with 2 home runs.
Since being drafted in the first round by Boston in 2005, Ellsbury has moved quickly through the minors, excelling at each level, even winning Boston's Minor League Defensive Player of the Year in 2006. One scouting report compared Ellsbury to "a better version of Johnny Damon. I say a better version because he has all the same baseball talent, but a better arm, and minus the greed and ***holeness."
There is one little problem. The Red Sox now have four starting outfielders. Who is going to be odd man out? Ellsbury isn't going anywhere: pencil him into the Sox lineup for the next ten years. With Manny and J.D. Drew signed to outrageous contracts, it appears Coco Crisp's days are numbered.
The Red Sox have a proud tradition of all-star outfielders. It may be time to add one more name to the list.

Jacoby is the hottest guy I know. I don't even like baseball but I actually watch baseball just so I could see him. I wish to marry him someday and make sweet love to him every night. I dream about him every minute of my time. I know you and I are meant to be together Jacoby. Someday our path will cross and it will be great. We can start making babies right after we get married. And we will live happily ever after. All you need to make your life perfect is me... I know why you are still not married is because you know deep down inside you are waiting for somebody like me... It won't be long till you get to hold me and never let me go. I love you baby...
