Who to keep on bench, Ankiel or Cruz?

[mozart24]

I only need to keep one OF on my bench. It's a 10 team mixed, which means only 40-45 OFs are owned, so I can pick up a decent guy anytime. Should I keep Rick Ankiel, or drop him to get Nelson Cruz? These guys are really close in my book, unless someone convinces me why one is better.

Our cats are standard 5x5, and it's a roto league.

Thanks, I'll help in return.

Lots of debate about Cruz these days. I think his ceiling is higher than Ankiel, though, and wouldn't really hesitate to play him over Cruz. Batting cleanup in that ballpark/lineup...

I's take the risk with Cruz. If he continues on what he did in Sept you're set. If not, you said the WW has good enough pieces to swap him out for.

i like Cruz over Ankiel. Ankiel could lose playing time to other St.Louis OF plsu they want to bring up Rasmus at some point. i would take a shot that Cruz can produce the same numbers with Texas that he did in the minors.

help?
