Nelson Cruz is viewed as a one-tool player. It was the reason most around baseball advocated against handing him a lavish deal, before or after the PED suspension. He can't field well, he can't get on base, he can't run and he doesn't hit for average—but he can hit the ball to the moon.
They say right-handed power is a rarity in today's game, and that's probably true. We've watched the Mariners chase after these guys for almost the entirety of Jack Zduriencik's tenure, more worn down by this cliche (reality) than about any fanbase.
But man, once you actually do find one of these guys—even if it is that guy's only skill—it's a lot of fun.
