Ellsbury vs. Cameron
I like Mike Cameron, but really, Ellsbury is the future. Can we agree, the best years of 37 year old Cameron are probably behind him and that the best years of 26 year old Ellsbury are just ahead? We're not going to run into another situation where expensive experience (age) causes problems for (youthful) enthusiasm? We've got a lot of experience (age), and there is something to be said for that, but let's not forget that young talent needs to be taken advantage of. Let's not get stuck on Lowell, Varitek, and Wakefield, when so much young talent is available, and in good shape. There's no denying the contributions of our older players in the past, but let's not forget that young, healthy talent, when given a chance, will prove to be a more durable bunch of enthusiastic run producers than guys than some guys taking a roster spot that need to be on the DL. Can you imagine Lowell, Varitek, Wakefield, Cameron, and Drew all on the field against, say, Tampa Bay? It's possible.
