Trever Crowe or Wes Bankston

[KOSTAS]

in an AL Only 5X5 keeper league. 5 man minor league reserve list. Need to fill my last spot with one of these guys.

Like Crowe's average, runs and steals potential
Bankston may reach the majors slightly faster with more power potential.

Which one do I go with for the most overall value next year.

[Galt]

I hear there is a possibility that Crowe will move to 2b (as he's blocked at CF obviously), and if that happens, he's a fantastic fantasy commodity.

[KOSTAS]

I know he is blocked in CF but couldn't he move to LF (ala Podsednik)?

[Galt]

He could, and that's where I'd imagine he'd go, but they have Snyder at LF and Crowe's power isn't enough for a corner outfielder (putting guys like Pods at LF isn't ideal - the light hitters are typically at CF, 2B, or SS so as not to load up your offense with weak hitters), and I've specifically heard that Crowe may move to 2B, though I haven't heard anything about LF

[KOSTAS]

I picked him up for Bankston. I agree that a move to 2B would be a huge boost in his fantasy value (and probably to the Indians as well)
