Lots of former Hustler farmhands here. Brear can rake. Gonzales and Valenzuela were minor league organizational soldiers for me. Cruz was actually on my big league team for a while. Love seeing this!

Cruz has been an excellent closer. His ERA doesn't show it because I gave him a couple of starts early on (the rotation was, um, not good) and he got shelled, but he's been extremely reliable closing out games (converted 17 of 18 save opportunities so far).
Gonzalez has been a workhorse in a setup role - 50 IP, 2.68 ERA, 2.69 FIP, 2.7 Cmd. Ratio.
