OK, so somehow I picked up Jacoby Ellsbury, of all people, off of the waiver wire. But, this leaves me with 5 OFs: Nate McLouth, Jacoby Ellsbury, Torii Hunter, Andre Ethier, Pat Burrell in the Util spot, and now Ellsbury. I can only start 4 of them. Whom should I try to trade?
My league has BB and OBP as stats so Burrell is useful, McLouth and Hunter are 20/20 guys, Ethier can hit for power and average, and Ellsbury is a steals machine with developing OBP skills. Right now, I feel like Ethier would be the odd man out, just because he doesn't steal bases and his value's at a peak right now.
I'm looking to upgrade one of my extra IF spots, or maybe trade for another top pitcher.
This is my roster, by the way:
Yahoo 12-team H2H league, a weird 13x12 (the significant ones are R, HR, RBI, AVG, SB, BB, OBP, SB%, SB-CS x W, K, SV, ERA, WHIP, BB, H, and R.) Extra counting stats for pitchers, which sucks, but whatever.
C - Brian McCann
1B - Miguel Cabrera
2B - Robinson Cano
SS - Troy Tulowitzki
3B - Evan Longoria
IF - Jason Giambi
IF - Edwin Encarnacion
OF - Nate McLouth
OF - Torii Hunter
OF - Andre Ethier
BN - Marco Scutaro
SP - Jake Peavy
SP - Felix Hernandez
P - Zack Greinke
P - John Danks
P - Erik Bedard
P - Wandy Rodriguez
P - Gil Meche
P - Joe Saunders
P - Paul Maholm
RP - Jonathan Broxton
RP - Chad Qualls
EDIT: Thanks for the responses. A lot of you have suggested moving Burrell as he's the worst of the five. I'm inclined to agree. What would you say is fair value for him, in a vacuum, in terms of an IF or an SP? Derek Lowe? Matt Garza? Chris Davis? Garrett Atkins?
