Green Monster - Jacoby Ellsbury

Here's one way to make a baseball monster: take the speed-blurred legs of Ichiro, the homerun snatching glove of Andruw Jones and the powerful hit-machine core of A-Rod, and hire yourself a deranged doctor by the name of Frnakenstein.

Here's another way: take a kid with tremendous natural speed, talent, athleticism and motivation and use training to minimize any weakness and maximize his existing athletic potential.

Red Sox outfielder Jacoby  Ellsbury is this kind of baseball Monster. Ellsbury blasted a record SPARQ Rating as he prepped for the '08 season.
