  • Cruz, Rangers avoid arbitration: The Rangers reached an agreement with OF Nelson Cruz on a two-year deal worth $16 million plus incentives on Thursday. Cruz has already passed his physical. The deal allows Cruz to avoid arbitration. Cruz told ESPN.com that he's focused on strengthening his legs this offseason in an attempt to avoid injuries during the year. “I feel like I’m in better shape right now than in the past,” Cruz said. “I expect a big performance of myself and nothing less than going back to the World Series.” Cruz has landed on the disabled list five times over the past two seasons with hamstring issues. "I feel like my legs are definitely stronger and more flexible. It’s going to be a huge difference in what I do [than] in the past," said.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Cruz had a typical season in 2011, hitting for power, driving in runs, and missing significant amounts of playing time due to injury. His chronic health issues limit his Fantasy appeal somewhat, but hopefully this new workout regiment keeps him healthier for the Rangers and owners. Cruz is worth targeting within the first five rounds in mixed league drafts.
