Jacoby Ellsbury broke the club record of 31 rookie steals last Sunday... twice. He stole second to get 32 and then decided 3rd base looked like it had a better view of home plate, so he stole it too. My mother once told me "No one likes a thief". Mom was wrong. I like Jacoby just fine. "Wheels" Ellsbury is a fun guy to watch on both offense and defense. I really enjoy watching games that both Jacoby and Coco play together. Yesterday Sean Casey got a steal. Laugh, I'll wait.
Jacoby is definitely our "DT" {designated thief} but I'm all for the Manny's and Casey's who feel like taking a run at 2nd base. It looks like fun and to tell you the truth, if I was standing on first base I'd think about it too. To be real, if I'm on 1st base you can bet that security is not very far behind.
