by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/15/13) Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz became the first member of his team to reach double-digit homers this year by hitting his 10th home run Wednesday against the A's to help lead his team to a 6-2 win. Cruz's homer came with two on in the fifth inning and was his only hit in four trips to the plate.
Last year, Cruz didn't hit his 10th home run until June 23. He has hit .264/.319/.507 in 160 plate appearances this season.

| World conquer helped Nelson Cruz |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(4/30/13) Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz said he has been able to overcome his typical early struggles thanks in part to his participation with the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic last month. Cruz, who failed to hit above .250 during the month of April in each of the past two seasons, leads Texas in home runs (5) and RBI (19) while carrying a solid .309 batting average.
"You’re playing in a playoff game in every game," Cruz told The Dallas Morning News of the World Baseball Classic, which the Dominican won for the first time. "It helps you get your mind right and your body right for the season."

| Nelson Cruz had a very important career-high in 2012, and it was in … at-bats. The oft-injured outfielder (Google "Nelson Cruz hamstring" for a walk down memory lane) managed 585 at-bats -- 100 more than his previous high. It didn't translate into increased production in several categories, including home runs, RBI and steals, but Cruz hammered 45 doubles, good for sixth in MLB. A healthy Cruz begets a happy Fantasy owner, and while he didn't flirt with 30 home runs or that .318 average he sported in 2010, the potential to do so is there. Cruz has talent, it's just a question of him repeating his healthy 2012 and being on the field to put his skills on display. That combination of worry and skill will land him as a draft pick on the early side of middle rounds. (Updated 11/30/12) |
