He's been doing a pretty good job being on base to let guys like Gonzalez and Ortiz drive him in, plus producing quite well driving a guy like Crawford in now that he's starting to hit better.

Come the summer months I think their offence is going to be absolutely lethal. Does anyone in the AL have a pitching staff deep enough to shut them down, and if they do, can they score enough against the Sox staff.
Well the offense was pretty dominant this series against the Jays. This road trip sure has been good so far, Ellsbury is 14 for 30 and has 9 runs, Ortiz has 4 homers and 13 RBI, and Gonzalez is on a 9 game RBI streak, with 60 so far this season. It sure is a dangerous offense, and the summer will probably show how lethal it is.
