Default Kimbrel + Papelbon for Ellsbury

1 year, 10 teams, H2H. Currently tied in 1st place.

R, RBI, HR, AVG, OPS, SB
W, SV, ERA, WHIP, K, K/BB

My team:
C: Weiters
1B: Konerko
2B: Kipnis
3B: Aramis Ramirez
SS: Hanley Ramirez
OF: Braun, Bruce, McCutchen
Util: Ellsbury, Dunn, Walker
BN: Lawrie

SP (start 2): Weaver, Price, Zimmerman, A. Sanchez, Worley, Hellickson, Karstens (going to be dropping immediately)
RP(start 2): Hanrahan, Street, Reed, Clippard, Wilton Lopez (probably also dropping)
P (start 4)

DL: McCarthy, Bailey

This has been offered to me by an owner who is in 8th place, trying to punt saves, improve his batting, and make a push for the playoffs. My bullpen is already strong but I know this would just me unbeatable in SVs and also give me tons of K, lowering my ERA and WHIP while raising my K/BB every week in the process. Ellsbury has been a bit of a disappointment since he came back.

If I completed this move, I would drop Wilton Lopez, and also drop Karstens for either Starling Marte or Chase Utley.

Thanks for the advice guys!

I never really have believed Ellsbury was a great power hitter to begin with, but he usually is good for speed etc. With that said, it's not totally awful, but it's not a move you have to make either. I'm not entirely sure how much it'll help your supplemental pitching stats, but it'll make you untouchable on saves...
