Jacoby Ellsbury?

But even when he does hit 30 HR he isn't valuable.

BTW, he's managed to hit 30 HR in a season 3 times in his career.  I don't think it is a "very realistic" to expect that in 2018. 

Steamer projects him for 30, Marcel has him at 28.    I’m not sure what “very realistic” means, but I’d say 30 is a reasonable midpoint guess, given the hitting environment the Orioles play in.    

I agree that even at 30 homers, Trumbo would only be of limited value.

Ellsbury's OBP is no higher than Seth Smith's and significantly lower than Markakis's over the past four years. If the difference to someone is stolen bases, then I wonder if they have watched the Orioles play. Maybe the 34 y.o. Ellsbury in an Orioles uniform steals 5 more bases than the 34 y.o. Markakis or the 35 y.o. Seth Smith. But 5 SBs is about the most you could expect for Ellsbury as an Oriole and that is worth little in the overall. Don't do MFY any favor: let them choke on the contract or find another partner. Taking Ellsbury off MFY's hands hurts the Orioles more than it helps them.
