i probably pronounce his last name wrong, because it's the same last name as mine, and my pronunciation is non-standard. i think this kid's got what it takes. he made the difficult jump from low-a to high-a last year, and showed good patience, decent contact, and decent power. what can i say? i think he's got it.

this is funny. according to the baseball cube he started playing at 10! no seriously luis cruz has contact and he may get power but he needs to learn to take a pitch.
so that's the padres. it'll be interesting to see if all this hitting talent turns into anything. like a frog, or something.
