About Derek Jeter and Jimmy Rollins...Sure, both are risky for their own reasons, but there is a fairly good chance that both have at least some type of bounce-back in 2011. Also, don't discount the fact that this is a contract year for Rollins.
I've gone back and forth on my opinion on Elvis Andrus all offseason. Given the stolen base options that are available later in the draft and that I don't project Andrus to help much in terms of AVG, his ranking remains subtle.
Mike Aviles has a real chance to be a tremendous value in 2011. He's healthy, and should hit up in the order. I'm thinking he scores a good amount of runs, hits around .290-.300 and put's up double digits in HR's and SB's.
I also really like Tsuyoshi Nishioka and Cliff Pennington as late round stolen base values.
