Even when his average is lacking, Cruz is still a force in the power department, hitting four bombs thus far this month. Cruz will continue to provide pop for the Rangers and his owners as long as he can remain healthy.","date":"Wed May 15"},"fullName":"Nelson Cruz","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"For years, we've wondered what Cruz's numbers would look like if he stayed healthy, and unfortunately, he picked a down year to show us. Then again, could there have been a reason? Although Cruz denies using performance-enhancing drugs, the threat of a 50-game suspension looms. On the field, Cruz saw his HR/FB rate nosedive to barely above league average after he was among the league leaders a few years ago. A bounce-back is likely, although the extent of which is now a question. Despite a healthy 2012, Cruz is still a health risk and he now needs to be considered a performance risk. Tack on the chance of sitting almost one-third of the season, and perhaps it is best if Cruz is someone else's problem unless the discount is huge.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.2,"playerRater15DAY":3.3,"positionRank":25}
