Before making a choice, I'd have to ask what is is you are expecting out of either of these three players. As it is currently set up, I don't see where making a move impacts your squad in any way.

bruney has not been doing well since he came back from DL- cruz and betancourt might grab a few saves- betancourt had the best # before he got hurt-

If that's what you are looking for, stay with the guy on the best team. The only way Cruz gets saves is if there's something wrong with Soria. Wedge is concerned for his job in Cleveland - he's already seen Betancourt try that route - he'd put in Jensen Lewis or virtually anyone else before giving Betancourt save opps.

if you have a limit on the # of active player you can reserve, i wouldn't waste activating Cruz in 4x4, if Soria gets (or is still) hurt then you can activate him, no sense in burning move that has limits on it.

that leaves you bruney v. betancourt. thats a toss-up if i've ever seen one. so once again, i'd just stick with bruney rather than waste a transaction
