Nelson Cruz is a great designated hitter. We now look into this great slugger.

Nelson Cruz is one of the great sluggers who played with the Baltimore Orioles in 2014. He was the Orioles key to success. Cruz has always been a great power hitter in the past. He used to be fast and had a mind blowing average. It looked like he would have a great Hall of Fame career until he ruined it. Back in his days with the Texas Rangers, he was often lost in the shadows of Josh Hamilton during his glory days. But really Nelson was the best all-around player on the team. He stole bases, slugged home runs, and even had a great average. He played with the Texas Rangers until the Biogenesis scandal news started flying around the air. On the suspension list was Cruz’s name. He would be suspended from playing Major League Baseball for fifty games. With a few exceptions, most of the players on that list would leave their teams including Nelson Cruz. Nelson Cruz would leave the Texas Rangers and sign with the Baltimore Orioles. He would be a superstar with the Orioles. Nelson Cruz was almost always on most highlight shows for his great home run skills. With Cruz, the Orioles were able to pull of the most home runs for any team in all of baseball. Nelson’s grand total of home runs in the 2014 season was 40. So people start to question if he was back to taking steroids again. It looked kind of suspicious that he was suspended the year before and hit 40 home runs the very next year. Did he take steroids again? That is a question we will never know for sure.
