Todd Linden or Raul Ibanez?

I am playing in Kauffman Stadium and I'm not sure if I have enough OBP. I currently have Ibanez in LF, but I am thinking about picking up Linden. If I do so, I'm not sure if I'll have enough power. Whoever I pick will be platooning with Bobby Kielty, so I'm not worried about the left side of their card. Here is the projected lineup vs. RHP with Ibanez playing LF:

1. M. Tucker RF
2. N. Johnson 1B
3. G. Atkins DH
4. A. Ramirez 3B
5. [b:fca7ea99b0]R. Ibanez LF[/b:fca7ea99b0]
6. F. Sanchez 2B
7. P. Lo Duca C
8. G. Matthews CF
9. O. Vizquel SS

Here is the projected lineup vs. RHP with Linden playing LF:

1. M. Tucker RF
2. [b:fca7ea99b0]T. Linden LF[/b:fca7ea99b0]
3. N. Johnson 1B
4. G. Atkins DH
5. F. Sanchez 2B
6. A. Ramirez 3B
7. P. Lo Duca C
8. G. Matthews CF
9. O. Vizquel SS

I could juggle this lineup a bit and maybe move Ramirez to the 5 hole, but I'm not sure because of his negative clutch. Also, I'm not sure if I'll be too station to station with the first three hitters drawing alot of walks and not many hits with the exception of Linden.

Finally, my league consists of 5 parks that favor pitchers (including 2 other managers using Kauffman, but they are not in my division), 4 stadiums that favor hitters, and 2 neutral parks. However, 2 of the hitters parks (U.S. Cellular and Coors Field) are in my division. The other park is Dodger Stadium. Let me know what you think, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It may be too late, but for what its worth I'd go with Ibanez for sure over Linden, particularly in a platoon roll. I've used Linden and dropped him mid-season - not enough pop or on-base for $4M.
