A frustrated New York Yankees fan has taken his displeasure of pitcher Jeff Weaver to the Internet. The fan is trying to use eBay to auction off the struggling right-hander, who's 6-and-9 with a hefty 5.78 ERA this year.

The fan -- known as "free range veal" on eBay, describes Weaver as a pitcher "in fair-to-good condition, hardly used and showing minor wear." He notes that he'll only sell Weaver to Boston, the Yankees' chief rival in the American League East.

The auction ad was placed hours after Weaver allowed nine runs and 13 hits in an 11-to-0 loss at Kansas City. Bidding began at one cent, but the high bid after 13 hours had climbed to more than 300 thousand dollars.

The fan says he'll also accept a white turtle neck and a bag of batting practice balls in lieu of payment for Weaver.
