  • Experts rank this player at 57th among SP's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 82nd.

  • The season is still young, expect things to change quite a bit.
Breakdown Nelson Cruz

    Overview

  • I couldn't find any stats of this player even playing a game in the past 60 days. This is most likely due to an injury or time in the minors.
