The Yankees have more invested in Jacoby Ellsbury than any other position player. If he continues to struggle would they consider moving him out of the role they thought he'd lock down for years?
When the Yankees signed Jacoby Ellsbury in late 2013, they charged him with two definitive tasks: track down balls all over center field and pose the kind of multi-faceted threat out of the leadoff spot that can lift the entire lineup. Ellsbury's done the first job alright, if not fantastically - his UZR/150 dipped from 12.9 in 2013 to 0.
