As evidenced by Nelson Cruz's recent five-game streak with a home run, one thing is quite evident by the Mariners' slugger -- he can mash the living hell out of the ball.
Cruz was signed for one thing and one thing only this season -- to club home runs. So far, Cruz has lived up to that minimal standard with flying colors. Excluding the month of June, where Cruz apparently struggled to adapt to the heat of the summer like the rest of us, he has been bashing balls with little to no remorse.
