Too Much Outfield Depth? Need Help WHIR

[X-Factor611]

I feel like i have too many outfielders. my roster consists of...
Nick Markakis
Nate McClouth
Jay Bruce
Adam Jones
Nelson Cruz
Lastings Milledge

my problem is i wish i could start 5 of my 6 outfielders but i cant. I'm thinking of trading one of them for a pitcher.
Who should i trade? Who would give me the best value in return.

I don't plan on trading Markakis, but the other 5 i have no trouble parting with for the right price.

It would help to see your roster, the # of OFers you CAN start, and your league settings.

Personally, I'm high on Markakis, Bruce, Adam Jones and Nelson Cruz. The others are fine, I just like these better.

One piece of advice. I wouldn't rule any guy as 'untouchable'. Any player should be available, for a price.

McClouth is a guy that I would dangle in a trade for a top-end SP. He has great 'name' value based off of last's years break-out. He should net you the most value in return. Pairing him with Lastings Milledge's breakout 'upside value' could bring in some fantastic combination of pitching!

for some reason i thought my roster would have shown up in my sig...anyways here it is

C- Ramon Hernandez
1B- Chris Davis
MI- Hanley Ramirez
MI- Jose Lopez
3B- David Wright
OF- Nick Markakis
OF- Nate McClouth
OF- Jay Bruce
DH- Adam Jones

Bench- Matt Wieters
Bench- Mark DeRosa
Bench- Lastings Milledge
Bench- Nelson Cruz

SP- Cole Hamels
SP- Joba Chamberlin
SP- Matt Garza
RP- Brian Fuentes
RP- Mike Gonzalez

Bench- David Price
Bench- Tommy Hanson
Bench- Jordan Zimmerman
Bench- Jiar Jurrjens
Bench- Brett Myers
Bench- Jason Motte

the league is an 11 team points league (Auction Style). scoring is 5x4 (no WHIP)

I agree, if you dont want to trade Markakis, then I would go with McClouth as you would be able to get the most in return for him. I really like Cruz for this year so I think making space for you to be able to start him is a good idea.

I agree with those who've suggested offering McClouth in a trade. I grabbed him off waivers last year and loved what I got, but I'm not 100% on him matching the numbers he put up. I'm high on Markakis like you and I think between Cruz and Bruce you should get some great offensive output. I'd also look at Lastings if another team is high on him.

Good luck!

thanks for the help guys...

do you think McClouth for Haren is asking too much?

[X-Factor611]

how about McClouth for Tulo...

then i can maybe trade Lopez or DeRosa for a pitcher

not a good deal. shop them OFers for some SPs!

Depends on what you want. If you can get Tulo, I say go for it! I think he is gonna have a great year while McLouth will decline..
But if you want a pitcher I would definitely try to trade McLouth.

Thanks for the help with mine!
