I would love to have Ellsbury but I don't think they can work it into the lineup and budget.

Ellsbury is going to make dogshit this year, especially after being hurt all of last year.

What do you do with McLouth - he's too expensive to trade.

Bite the bullett and just let him be the fourth OF. When Chip can't go you'll have a very serviceable fourth OF to put out there. Yeah sure you have Schafer there to help make the competition tough on Nate but I've given up on both of them. I probably shouldn't have, especially Schafter, but he's been struggling for too long now. Getting off steroids and all those linging injuries have ruined him.

Braves will end up going for an OF either now or at the trade deadline, why not now?

I don't think they'll get Ellsbury or try too hard, especially with him being a LH. But if they don't even call about him today which I'm sure they will just to check in, then that would be really really stupid
