The 2009 Texas Rangers season is less than a month away (playoffs?)

 

Take a guess at the Home Run leader for the team.

 

Josh Hamilton? The home run derby highlight reel has suffered through injuries and has 10 hr.

Andruw Jones? The gold glover led mlb in 2005 with 51.

 

How about Nelson Cruz. The 28 yr old has finally had the breakthrough year the Rangers have been waiting for since he was acquired in the Carlos Lee trade in 2006. After being put through waivers and rebounding to win the Pacific Coast League MVP (AAA), Nelson Cruz has had a monster 2009 season that includes his 1st All star game selection (by the players vote no less) and as of September 02 2009 leading the Texas offense with 30 HR.
