Nelson Cruz is 28 years old
He did not make the Opening Day roster in 2008
The Rangers have four outfielders who merit regular playing time: Josh Hamilton, Marlon Byrd, David Murphy and Nelson Cruz. Rotating them through the DH spot is a possibility.
Cruz hit 37 home runs in 383 Triple A at bats last year
Projections vary from 28 HRs, 18 steals and a .278 average (Bill James) to 10 HRs, four steals and a .257 average (Marcel)
Cruz is Rotoauthority's #1 sleeper
He attempted a steal 25% of the time he was on first base in the minors
His ADP is currently in the 15th-to-17th round range, but my guess is that he will become less of a bargain over the next few months
Crooked Pitch readers think Pablo Sandoval, Matt Wieters, and Ian Stewart will be better sleepers than Cruz and Razzball has his hesitations.
Cruz's font couldn't get any bigger in this tag cloud

Wieters is as much a sleeper as Longoria was last year, which is to say, probably not much of a sleeper.
Every fantasy team should have an Ian on their team.
28 year old prospects are not prospects, but they could still be good baseball players.
