It isn't that simple. We had an All Star quality infield to make up for our ****ty OF. We lose a lot from ellsbury to hermeda (and, to whoever the OF of the day is)
The only reason we've survived w/out Jacoby is because of our awesome infield and adaquate pitching.
We still need jacoby

How is he over rated?
He's a leadoff hitter who hits .300. He will steal 60-70 bases a season. He will be among the league leaders in triples. Whenever he gets on, Dustin Pedroia is guaranteed to see more fastballs. He greatly impacts many aspects of the game on paper and off (defensive placement when he's on, FBs to Petey, etc)
If you're saying he's over rated, you have to be comparing him to the "Jacoby Stole My Heart" 2007 seaosn where he batted like .600 in his call-up and in the playoffs. However, in general, having a leadoff hitter like Ellsbury is crucial to this teams success.
