| Biography: |
| Once a top prospect in the Cubs system, Cruz has been plagued by inconsistency in both the starting rotation and the bullpen. Came from Oakland late this spring in the trade the simultaneously sent Brad Halsey to the A's and vaulted Claudio Vargas into the #5 spot in the rotation. There is no doubt to Cruz's talent, he regularly hits the upper 90s with movement, but harnessing an arm (and body) that has been compared to Pedro Martinez more than once is the key. |
