He'll supply a much-needed boost of power to a squad that lacked that potential during the last two months.","date":"Mon Sep 30"},"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"},"positionRank":40}
