Unfortunately, his shoulder is hurt, requiring surgery.  He's out for the season.

I don't know if I like this.  I've been firmly behind Slyde's drive to sign Ellis, as you know.  But I'd think a shoulder injury could be problematic.

The good news is he's no longer a 4/$28M player; he could probably be had for 1 or 2 years at $4-5M each now, saving money for the inevitable Holliday trade/extension.

Thoughts?
