Keeper/Dynasty League: Rasmus vs. McGee/Davis

[Matches]

I am in an 8-team 5x5 league in which the entire roster is carried over from year to year. It is a 30-man roster that starts 12 hitters and 8 pitchers. So there is a very deep bench that allows teams to keep young prospects. I currently have Tampa's three prospects David Price, Wade Davis and Jake McGee taking up 3 spots despite not being in the majors. Price is a no-brainer, but the Cardinals' Colby Rasmus is available. I'm thinking of letting loose one of the pitchers to stash Rasmus as on OF prospect, especially since I lost Matt Kemp, Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier in an expansion draft. My organizational OF depth chart is currently:

BJ Upton
Curtis Granderson
Jermaine Dye
Jay Bruce
---bench---
Rick Ankiel
Travis Snider

Pitching-wise, my depth is:

SP: Halladay, Oswalt, Beckett, Wainwright, Greinke, Kershaw, Jurrgens, Price, McGee/Davis
RP: Papelbon, Valverde, Percival/Qualls/Motte/Devine

Should I jump on Rasmus and dump either McGee or Davis? Or dump someone else?

I'd drop Ankiel, as Rasmus would be getting his job.

I considered that, but my OF depth has been ravaged. I figure to be a competitive team and if one of my starters goes down to injury I would be left with a waiver-wire pickup or Travis Snider in the starting lineup. Rasmus may take Ankiel's job but I don't think I can afford to be that thin at OF when I have a shot at winning the league this year. I can't expect Rasmus to have a Longoria-like rookie season.
