Boras on Ellsbury: ‘Very cooperative effort’ 07.12.10 at 4:57 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

ANAHEIM — Speaking during the American League All-Stars media session at the Anaheim Marriott, Scott Boras said that both he and the Red Sox were on the same page when it came to Jacoby Ellsbury’s rehabilitation process in the outfielder’s return from broken ribs.

“I don’t think Jacoby had comments. I think Jacoby described exactly what occurred,” said Boras, referencing Ellsbury’s description of the timeline, from when he was first injured until his return to the team. “There’s a lot of people, certain journalists, who just don’t have the right facts. The cooperation has been great with the organization. I spoke with Terry [Francona] four or five times and Theo [Epstein] many times. We’ve been on the same page throughout. These are decisions of Jacoby’s medical care and his physical therapy. All these things were made mutually. It’s been a very cooperative environment. Good communication with everybody and we knew what was going on and why and it was all by agreement.

“I think Jacoby described the set of circumstances he was operating under and the information he was operating under. I think that accurately portrays what occurred and the key thing is that I’m just tell you, responsibility between Theo and myself and Jacoby, Terry, it’s all been very fluid. It’s all been very understood. There’s been no question about what he should or shouldn’t do. The team in fact chose where Jacoby would train in Arizona. That was not anything we suggested. That was a group they’re comfortable with and Jacoby was comfortable with. It was a very cooperative effort.”

Ellsbury is currently continuing his rehab in Fort Myers this week, with the outfielder scheduled to accelerate his baseball-playing activities. For All-Star Game coverage see the Red Sox team page at weei.com/redsox.

    Joke-oby Ellsbury appears to be softer than the Michelin Man. Can someone please explain how several broken ribs can possibly take 4 months to heal to the point where he can play without the prospect of re-aggravating the injury? I read today how he’s likely still a month away. That’s incredible.

  • bob

    i broke 2 ribs a couple of years back .iwas back lifting beer 3 weeks later. ellsbury, what wimp.

  • Mike

    This whole thing smells. What could he possibly do in Arizona that he couldn’t do in Boston or on the road? Having broken ribs would limit most physical activity. Sounds to me like the Sox had no choice but to allow him to go. I think he’ll be in a different uniform by next year.

    when I was in my 20′s I broke three ribs.It took me 4-5 months,to be able to work.I was a bit foolish in the middle,and thought I was healed.I played a little hoop,and took a small direct blow,and I was set back.Hard to breathe,laugh,and most activities were almost impossible for months.Bottom line is there is a very good chance most of this is real and very painful.Also he hasn’t done his career any good not playing.He is a huge talent,and a great addition to our team.he will be a factor in the second half,if he doesn’t re injury this situation right off the bat when he returns.I hope he is close to 100%,because he can help us.

  • Give Ells a break

    Listening to FACTS, early return made it worse … and more ribs were broken. Several broken ribs is a serious injury. I’d be upset if advised to play and told “we don’t MRI bruises” and finally revealed fractures, nerves and muscle also impacted. Red Sox medical mismanaged care. If it were YOU, you would be suing for malpractice.

    Give Ellsbury benefit of doubt! I am supporting Ells and will continue to do so. Great player and was missed!

    My sister broke her ribs which took 6 months to heal. I am glad Red Sox fans are all doctors which should help all of us heal from major health disabilities. There must be hundreds of medical schools in New England.

    [PhD Nutrition] Pharma Whey: I agree completely with Mike. Strawberry tastes odd, it has a very bitter edge when used with water, for no apparent reason. Maybe some of their extra chemicals are giving it a harsh after-taste. Tastes better with milk, but not fantastic. The strawberry y does froth up loads after 5 seconds of shaking. You have to wait a while for it to settle before you can drink it like a normal shake. Try Boditronics Express Whey in chocolate. It s not amazing, but it s very easy to drink and mixes well.

    When it comes to aftercare, you’ll need to don’t forget that wood and water don’t mix too nicely: whilst your bathroom furniture will happen to be given a protective coating by its manufacturer, you may should top up and/or replace this coating from time to time, to avoid water damaging your furniture. Items will also require typical cleaning and periodic polishing to preserve them seeking their very best.
