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.
"I probably won't try to get too many more; there's really no need," Ellsbury said.
