Teams loaded with OF's and no one in the league seems to want one no matter what i offer. Trying to deal Ellsbury, what pitchers seem realistic for him. I know i cant get lincecum, cc, felix, and greinke caliber players.

I'd consider dealing Ells for Lester/Kershaw/Hanson plus someone else.

I personally think Greinke for Ells would be fair but if you can't get that, settle for a 2 for 1.

Won't get a top ftier starter...maybe Grienke, but I'd do it for a Leter, Verlande type and a piece.

I have been in the same situation. Ells should be able to land you a second tierish pitcher such as Lester. But in reality Ellsbury is only worth what you can find another manager to pay for him. So if noone wants your outfielders, you can either trade him for the most you can get, try a 2 for 1 to try to get more equal value or just keep him.

With your team I wouldnt mind if I could get a Wainwright or a Kershaw for Ells.

Other managers are going to see that you are overloaded in the OF and probably will try to squeeze you on the deal.

I have the same problem in my league. In leagues with such a setup the OF market tends to get saturated and pitching will be thin. I like the idea of dealing Ells to the guy who needs speed the most and then hoping he has the type of pitcher that most people have mentioned. I love Lester this season and would pounce on a deal for him, but aside from the guys already mentioned I'd add in Josh Johnson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Josh Beckett, and if you can get something small back or want to deal a different OF, Nolasco.

Thanks for the help on mine.
