Just want to drop a thanks to Roz for cutting Ellsbury and giving me something to look forward to at next year's draft... Is it too early to start the mocks?

I think Roz should post his all-cut team, but Ellsbury is the highlight. But I bet all his others get a pass since usually cuts are bad luck (see: Bautista), but this one may have just been a bad decision. The guy was 1-year removed from a .300 avg and 70 SB!
I understand his OPS was zero at the time, but every team needs leadoff and #2 hitters, too, or even a #9 with 70 SB isn't too shabby. The most compelling reason to cut him was his defense sucked -- I hate anything less than Vg in CF -- but still it's not like he had a franchise guy there instead.
Given Ellsbury's minors history of always hitting and that he was entering his prime, I think I may have kept him as a projection. Or probably not given how bittre I get over DNQ players (see: Buchholez)...
