AJ ELLIS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Being A.J. Ellis

A.J. Ellis wasn’t supposed to make it. At least not according to the A.J. Ellis whom the Los Angeles Dodgers took in the 18th round of the 2003 draft. That Ellis wasn’t planning on a career the major leagues. And yet, here he is, 10 years later with at least one facet of his game considered to be elite, and a regular job on a good team in the big leagues. How he got here â€...

Greinke "regrets" not telling A.J. Ellis about history with Carlos Quentin

If it seemed like A.J. Ellis was slow to get out and try to divert a charging Carlos Quentin, it's because he was.  Ellis, not necessarily familiar with the bad blood between Zack Greinke and Quentin, had no reason to believe a seemingly innocuous hit-by-pitch to the arm would result in an all-out brawl.  Not on a 3-2 count in a  one-run game, at least.  But it did, and...

And daaaamn, what a gorgeous thing this...

The Dodgers' third-best hitter, A.J. Ellis, bats eighth

A.J. Ellis While Jon Weisman at Dodger Thoughts is (rightfully) starting the "A.J. Ellis All-Star campaign," I'm thinking we need to start a "Move A.J. Ellis up in the order campaign," though, it doesn't have quite the same ring to it. But with Dee Gordon's unsurprising early-season struggles, perhaps it's time to shake up the lineup...
