OK guys, I need your help. Through alot of luck and some good drafting I am about to have a gluttony of OF once Ellsbury comes off the DL and I need help with pitching still. I drafted Bautista and J. Upton and traded for Braun a month ago. I was lucky enough to pick up Trout off waivers when he was first called up to the majors before anyone else. In addition, Ellsbury's original owner dropped him three months ago when he went on the DL and I scooped him up and he has been sitting on my DL for 3 months. So, here is my current OF look:
OF-Bautista
OF-Braun
OF-Trout
UTILITY-J. Upton
DL-Ellsbury
I really need help with my pitching and I don't want a stud like Ellsbury wasting away on the bench. I would like to make a big move and I am thinking about trying to trade Braun for an ace pitcher such as Verlander, Cain, or Weaver. Do you think I could get any of these three pitchers straight up for Braun? Should I? Or should I look at moving a different OF? Should I try to capitalize on the Trout hysteria? Thanks for your input and I will definitely help in return. This is a non-keeper league. Thanks!
