The other thing about Ellerbe is that he is very, very injury prone.

Keep this in mind, he was a backup the previous 3 years and this year he started 7 or 8 games, and was still injured/playing with numerous injuries. In those 3 years he wasn't starting and was a back up/package player/special teams guy, he was still missing time with injuries.

So ask yourself, do you really want a guy who when healthy, which is a rare sighting, is a top 20 MLB at best?

And also, do you think the Ravens who just lost Ray Lewis and McClain has a neck/spine injury, are going to let this guy walk? And if they do let this guy walk, maybe you can blame money, but I would think it would be a major concern to see them let him walk away in FA, that would be a red flag to whichever team signs him.

Someone said he's a Dexter Jackson signing waiting to happen, they may be right.
