With four days to rest up before the Red Sox's playoff run commences, expect him to be in the lineup everyday going forward.","date":"Mon Sep 30"},"fullName":"Jacoby Ellsbury","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"If there were a fantasy baseball dictionary, Ellsbury's headshot should be listed next to \"risk/reward player.\" His career fits: He has per-162-game averages of 16 homers, 53 stolen bases, 107 runs scored, 73 RBIs and a .297 batting average, but in the past three seasons alone he has made four trips to the DL for a grand total of 222 games missed. In Ellsbury's defense, some of those injuries were fluky, such as the rib injury he suffered crashing into Adrian Beltre in the field, but he also warrants criticism for being slow to recover from his ailments. Thankfully, Ellsbury's legs have yet to become a problem, a plus considering so much of his fantasy value is gleaned from his speed. He is the kind of player who makes a valid case to be one of the 10 most valuable players in fantasy baseball if healthy, but is among the most likely to miss time of the early-round targets.
