I'd say this is a reasonable expectation ... if he can stay healthy. I'm a bit more pessimistic:90 R13 HR66 RBI29 SB

This is where Im at. But I see a player that could go 25/50 with 100/100 if things break (or don't break) right.

what if he played for the Miami Heat?

The projections for Ellsbury's counting stats are falling in the general range of B.J. Upton and Desmond Jennings. Ellsbury is being drafted well before them. Ellsbury will be a better contributor in AVG/OBP but it's hard to get past the injury risk.

I will be ecstatic if I get 30 stolen bases, 90 runs, 15-20 homers, and 80 ribs out of Jennings. ECSTATIC.

Jennings had 13 HR, 31 SB and 85 R in 132 games last season. The RBI target isn't likely for him if he bats leadoff but that's the case with Ellsbury as well.

 

[Raider Nation]

I think he may double the SB projections by some of you. I see him threatening his career high of 70.

It's just spring and could mean nothing, but he hasn't even attempted to steal a base yet.

Last year's injury seemed a little bit on the fluky side, to me anyway. Since his avg/obp should be significantly higher than Upton/Jennings his R count should be too. He's also not batting behind the pitcher like Upton will. Add in contract year motivation and I think he deserves a loftier ranking. Haven't been getting him in drafts, keep just missing him and settling for Jennings actually, but he is a priority inmy auction.

I'm not betting my life on it or anything but he is healthy (for now) and they will desperately need to manufacture runs.

So this is where my brain is. If I had to bet if JE would hit over X amount of HR or Y amount of SB I'm not sure I'd do it because of the injury risk. But the fact is when you are playing in a 10 team AL only legg picking up someone like JE if he does in fact bounce back in his big contract year can single handedly give you the edge you need to win a title. He hasn't done it often, but he has every reason to do it again this year.If I was the Red Sox, I'd give him a copy of the Mike Bourn contract 30 minutes before each game.

5 SB tonight.

Maybe he should've stopped at 4
