Get the Smelling Salts.



Fan-girls of the world will need to be scrapped off the floor as Jacoby Ellsbury threatens: "I think the whole package will be on display this year." (I may secretly be twelve-years-old.)

There's nothing too interesting in the video as Ellsbury steadfastly clings to his cliches but the gist: He feels physically prepared for the coming season. He plans to work hard. He didn't think the holes in his swing (and his susceptibility to the inside fastball) made him that horrible of a player last year. He plans on working hard. There's always room for improvement. He worked hard. He's relaxed. He likes batting lead-off. He thinks they have a great team that is solid one through nine, with an explosive offense. They also have a pleasing defense. He plans on continuing to improve by working hard. It's all about having fun. He likes his teammates, especially Jed Lowrie. He wants to get back to the World Series [Aside: That was a stupid question. Which professional baseball player is going to say: "You know what? I have no desire to play in the World Series."?] And he's ready for the season to start.
