I'm  not sure that Cruz is the answer for us at 3rd but I am sure that Rolen is not.  Surely with all the SP we have we can entice someone into giving up a 3rd baseman that would, at least, be a legit backup in case Cruz was a flash in the pan.  That being said, I hope Cruz is the real deal.  He showed a lot of heart sticking with it in the minors for as long as he did and I think he can teach some of our stars how to play as a team instead of always trying to pound the ball.

I hope Cruz can handle full time, but I just don't see it. He did a nice job for us last year, but his numbers were career numbers for him, including minor leagues. We had quite a few guys fill in last year and do a good job, Hairston, Herrera, and Gwynn filled in nicely the first of the year, then they tailed off. Cruz filled in the second half of the season, so who knows if he would have tailed off or not. We need a power hitting third baseman, I'd personally like to see Mcpherson work out, but I don't see that either.
