| 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) |
