PostHeaderIcon Ellsbury Leads in Threes: Majors Update 6 April 2014

JacobyEllsbury-YankeesIts amazing how different the regular season can be from spring training. Last week, Elliot Johnson was on top of the Mormon players in spring training, and this week, in the regular season, he is on the bottom, while Jacoby Ellsbury, mediocre in most of spring training, has transformed into the best performer among the Mormon players.

Ellsbury started the season in 3s — hitting .333 (7 for 21), scoring 3 runs, stealing 3 bases and walking three times. All this he managed while his team (the Yankees) managed a mediocre performance.

Like Ellsbury, Eric Sogard also started the season strong after a weak spring. Sogard was 3 for 10 last week with 2 runs, 2 walks and a stolen base.

Unfortunately, this pattern doesn’t seem to have been followed by the Mormon pitchers, mainly because of injuries. The best performance was from Jeremy Guthrie, who led the group with a 6.35 era — certainly nothing to shout about. The best of the Mormon pitchers, Doug Fister and Josh Johnson, are on the 15-day disabled list.
