Blank Spring Training start for Jacoby Ellsbury

by Chris Zolli | Tue, Mar 3rd 3:43pm EST

Ellsbury led off for the Yankees in their Spring Training opener with the Phillies, going 0-3 with 2 runners left on base

Fantasy Impact:

Ellsbury was the best offensive player for the Yankees last year and fluctuated from the first and third spot in the lineup. His 0-3 was not as important as the fact that he was at the top of the lineup and that is something to watch as Spring Training goes on. If Ellsbury is at the top of a rebounding Yankee lineup, he could top 100 runs scored for only the second time in his career. If he is able to steal around 40 bases, he had 52 in 2013 and 39 in 2014, he could be even better than his ADP of 31.
