Even at 36 years old, Cruz is showing no signs of slowing down as a run producer and he now has 25 RBI through 27 games on the season.","date":"Thu May 4"},"fullName":"Nelson Cruz","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"His power is among the most prodigious in the game, and Cruz appears to be going with it as his 37th birthday approaches, becoming somewhat more pull-conscious in 2016 and exerting maximum effort on his swings, even if it's at the expense of a near-25-percent strikeout rate. No matter, as he is the only player to have reached the 40-homer threshold in each of the past three seasons, becoming the first to do so in three straight years since Ryan Howard (2006-09), showing no signs of a decline in that department. Cruz's critics can only point to his age as reason for an imminent decline, but without underlying metrics hinting its arrival, he's as likely to approach if not repeat his 2016 output as any hitter, and in either Rotisserie or points-based formats that makes him worthy of a top-50 overall draft pick.","seasonId":2017,"date":"Tue Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":8.9,"playerRater15DAY":11,"positionRank":7}
