[Déjà Bru]

Now Ellsbury has plantar fasciitis and will not begin spring training with the team. I don't want to be harsh - I'm not sure why I care other than a general loyalty to the team - and I do sympathize if all of these injuries have been actual and meaningful, but the time should come soon when the Yankees need to cut this fellow. It's their money and roster, of course, but this perpetually injured status, particularly injuries suffered while being injured, is an indication of at least a player being washed up physically, if not mentally.
