Grey Albright's 2023 Player Summary
Signed with the Padres. When I heard this, I immediately went to see if he was older than Fernando Tatis Sr. He is not. Close though! Nelson Cruz is old, but I'm old enough to remember when he was Nelson Cruz Jr., so what does that make me? Dirt old?... (click to read the rest)

Nelson Cruz Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)

Nelson Cruz projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections by Steamer are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.

Nelson Cruz Fantasy Outlook For 2023

Grey Albright Player Summary
Signed with the Padres. When I heard this, I immediately went to see if he was older than Fernando Tatis Sr. He is not. Close though! Nelson Cruz is old, but I'm old enough to remember when he was Nelson Cruz Jr., so what does that make me? Dirt old? This signing could ruin my Jose Azocar crazy-crazy-crazy-late sleeper outfielder pick, if I let it, but I'm ostrich'ing my head in the sand, and gonna pretend Azocar will get enough at-bats to SAGNOF.
