Boris Cruell  
Center Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
One of the nice things about Boris is that he's a real clutch hitter. Cruell always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hangs in well against lefthanders' breaking balls, and some of the pitchers he hits best are the southpaw specialists often brought in to face him.

Baserunning & Defense
Cruell isn't a fluid center fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. Cruell isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
