Fantasy Analysis
Cruz went 17 for 65 (.262) with six RBI in 38 games in the majors last season. Starter Yadier Molina usually does not see many days off for St. Louis so the 25-year-old will likely not see a ton of playing time this season. Leave Cruz for the deepest of NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 03/30/2012).
