Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Boston Red Sox
This kid has a ton of potential but he's going to be pricey and will be picked well before he should. That .353 average he put up in 116 at-bats last season isn't going to stand and he still has alot to learn. He'll score runs and hit for a good average but people will expect him to challenge for the batting title and that simply isn't going to happen. He has speed but the Sox don't steal bases too much. He'll be an excellent leadoff hitter in a few years but folks are taking him way too high this season.
Predicted numbers: .287, 56 RBIs, 96 runs, 5 HRs, 18 steals
