Fantasy Analysis
Ellsbury is going through a bit of a slump right now, but it's nothing to worry about. All hitters struggle from time-to-time. What Fantasy owners do need to worry about is Big Papi's impending return. Once he is activated off the DL, Manny Ramirez will move back to left and Ellsbury will then return to center field, where he will lose some starts to Coco Crisp. Ellsbury is still a solid Fantasy option in Rotisserie leagues, just be aware of the lineup shift coming shortly. (Updated 07/20/2008).
