Nelson Cruz Drawing Interest
28 year-old Rangers minor league outfielder Nelson Cruz has a career line of .231/.282/.385 in 478 plate appearances. So why is he drawing trade interest right now?
Cruz has utterly destroyed Triple A pitching this year, hitting a monstrous .343/.444/.689 in 80 games. He's even cut down on the strikeouts somewhat. Of course, this is his fourth extended stint at Triple A and he's mashed there before. But perhaps after Jack Cust last year teams will give these Quad-A types a closer look. Cruz, unlike Cust, can play right field. He does not appear to be in the Rangers' plans.

Somebody should give this guy a chance, right now the Rangers really cant. Any B-C level pitching prospect should do.

The problem with trading Cruz is that he is a free agent after this year. So he would be only a rental. He would only be a good value to a team in contention that be willing to start him. Personally i would have him and mayberry jr. playing for the rangers instead of boggs and bryd.

Uh, he doesn't even have two years of service time.
