Ellsbury will single-handedly keep you at the top of the heap in stolen bases. However, don't expect 70 steals again. If you do choose to acquire Ellsbury, be sure you supplement him with a couple of lower end power options later in your draft or auction. .295-90-5-55-65 in 610 AB

Positives / Upside	Ellsbury led the majors with 70 steals in 2009 and is a good bet to do so again in 2010. Batting leadoff for the Red Sox all but gaurantees a ton of runs. A batting average right around the .300 mark seems like a strong bet, and Ellsbury's 60 RBI in 2009 is more than you'll get from most lead-off hitters. Now 26, there is a chance that Ellsbury will develop his power some in the coming years and consistently post double digit home run totals. .300-100-10-60-70 in 620 AB
Negatives / Downside	Obviously 70 stolen bases is extremely valuable from a fantasy perspective, but Ellsbury will help you less in home runs and RBI than any other hitter who commands as much attention as he will. Furthermore, the possibility exists that Ellsbury's 70 steals in 2009 are the most we'll ever see from him. .285-85-3-50-50 in 600 AB
