You could easily look at teams that take Ellsbury in the top 10 slots, and figure out how they did in their leagues. In one individual team or league, there's too much variance to really know if it's a good move or not. But across maybe 400 teams that may do something ridiculous like this, I'd bet you can get a good sense of whether it's smart or dumb.
