Ellsbury showcases speed from DH spot
"DHing was nice just today, because I didn't have to utilize [the legs] for defense," Ellsbury said. "I thought I'd be a little more aggressive on the bases just because of that." (AP)LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Yankees believe that Jacoby Ellsbury is "capable of more," as general manager Brian Cashman put it in a recent interview, and the outfielder appears to be taking that challenge to heart.
Ellsbury went 3-for-3 with two stolen bases in the Yankees' 8-7 victory over the Braves at Champion Stadium. That makes it three spring swipes for Ellsbury, who once said during that he would prefer not to steal aggressively in Spring Training.
