<p> is a threat on the basepaths for the .</p>
<p>But apparently, Ellsbury is also likened to an aircraft carrier by his agent, Scott Boras, according to of CBS Sports.</p>
<p>Ellsbury is a free agent after this season, and Boras is going to look for the best deal for his client.</p>
<p>Boras, in an interview with CBSSports.com, made clear what he thinks of the mid-range market strategy and where he thinks Ellsbury stands, saying, Free agency is like the Navy. You can have a number of mid-range missiles, but they only work as long as you have the aircraft carrier to put them on. http://www.latestsportsjerseys.com/ - http://www.latestsportsjerseys.com/ </p>
<p>Batting .296 for the year with 88 runs scored, 51 stolen bases and a .775 OPS, Ellsbury is hitting at or above all of his career averages this year.</p>
<p>But has he played himself into a $100 million-plus contract?</p>

<p>Comparisons to Other Players</p>
<p>Boras doesn't believe a player like Carl Crawford belongs in the same conversation as Ellsbury. Both players will http://www.latestsportsjerseys.com/ - latest http://www.latestsportsjerseys.com/site_map.html - nfl jerseys site map sports jerseys be compared the same because both use their speed to their advantage. Keep in mind the Red Sox gave Crawford a $142 million deal three years ago.</p>
<p> Two things separate Ellsbury <from>Crawford - . Carl Crawford was never proven as a leadoff hitter, and Carl Crawford is not a center fielder,'' Boras said. They are two different animals. It's not a consideration because he's a corner outfielder. Just think if Carl Crawford could play center field. </p>
<p>Boras went on to mention a few other differences between Ellsbury and Crawford.</p>
<p> Carl Crawford never had success in Boston. And he never won a ring in Boston,'' Boras said. Plus, "Crawford never hit twenty home runs, and Jacoby hit 30," Boras added.</p>
<p>With that said, let's look at each players' numbers. To get a more accurate comparison, I used Crawford's first six years in which he played 816 total games and compared them to Ellsbury's career (711 games).</p>
<p>This should give a more accurate comparison considering Crawford never had a major injury up to that point. Otherwise, the numbers would be extremely skewed toward him.</p>
