Hill, Ellsbury, Jose Lopez or Cruz

AL only 12 team 5x5 keeper league $260 draft day team salary. Think I'm gonna pack it in and play for next year as I painted myself into a corner with no more FAAB and trades are difficult to come by. So, who will provide more value for 2010: Hill $12, Jose Lopez $9 (2010) or $14 (2010 and 2011), Ellsbury $16 (signed thru 2010), or Nelson Cruz $9 (2010), $14 (2010-2011) or $19 (2010-2012)? Rank in order of preference. Thanks for any opinions.

Ellsbury, can't ignore those SB's
Hill, tough position to get a good guy at in the AL
Cruz, What you see is what you get
Lopez, he may lose eligibility in upcoming years.

For those few who care I completed two dump trades and will wait for next year. Been playing in the same league since 1994 and I've never thrown in the towel this early, heck I'm used to being on the other end of these trades. I got Cruz $3, Hill $12, Ellsbury $16 and Snider $4. Snider and Cruz will need to be signed and Ellsbury will be in the last year of his contract in 2010. I gave up Markakis, Kinsler, Kubel, Cuddyer, Granderson, James Shields and Max Ramirez. Kinsler and Markakis go back into the draft. Granderson is at $40, Kubel $18 and Cuddyer $13. I'll be protecting Youk, Longoria and Alexi as well. I did an extremely poor job of managing my FAAB and drafting of pitchers so the finger only points in my direction. Live and learn. Managing your resources is soooooo important.
