GOODYEAR, Arizona �C Entre todas las joyas que utiliza el prospecto dominicano de los Rojos, Elly de la Cruz, est�� un medall��n que tiene una foto de su familia.

��Es porque lo hago por ellos. Lo hago por mi gente��, dijo De la Cruz.

En medio de todo est�� la mam�� del campocorto, Carmen.

��Realmente, aparte del b��isbol, todo se centra en mi familia y mi madre��, coment�� De la Cruz. ��Ellos me inspiraron a ser la persona que soy hoy��.

Cruz, d��cimo mejor prospecto del b��isbol, seg��n MLB Pipeline, fue parte de los jugadores que enviaron los Rojos a Triple-A Louisville de cara al comienzo de la temporada regular. Aunque tuvo destellos del talento que lo convierten en un cotizado prospecto, tambi��n dej�� claro que a��n necesita pulir un par de aspectos.

En 12 juegos, De la Cruz se fue de 25-5 (.200) con un jonr��n, dos triples y cinco remolcadas. Tambi��n se ponch�� nueve veces y recibi�� dos boletos.

De la Cruz, un talento de cinco herramientas, bate�� .304 con OPS de .945, 28 jonrones y 47 bases robadas en 120 encuentros entre Clase-A Fuerte Dayton y Doble-A Chattanooga el a?o pasado.

El cubano Jos�� Barrero y Kevin Newman comenzar��n turn��ndose el campo corto de los Rojos en el comienzo de la temporada, pero De La Cruz estar�� esperando por su momento, mientras contin��a con su desarrollo.

A comienzos de semana, De la Cruz habl�� con MLB.com y estas fueron algunas de los temas que trat��:

?Qu�� te pidieron trabajar cuando fuiste bajado?

��No mucho, s��lo que deber��a seguir trabajando con consistencia, que de esa manera es que iba a subir��, mencion�� De La Cruz.

Sobre lo que disfruta jugando b��isbol:

��Desde que soy un ni?o, siempre he amado jugar esto��, coment��. ��Desde que [lo hac��a] en la calle, jug��bamos con una pelota de tenis o con otro tipos de bolas. Desde que cog�� una pelota, siempre me gust��. El baloncesto tambi��n fue una gran pasi��n, incluso antes que el b��isbol. Pero el b��isbol es mi deporte��.

��Cuando cruzo las l��neas [del terreno] y defiendo mi posici��n, me siento en casa��.

?Vestir��as el n��mero 44 cuando seas ascendido a las Mayores?

Aunque muchos jugadores han vestido el Nro. 44 a lo largo de los a?os, est�� muy asociado al expatrullero de los Rojos Eric Davis. El manager de clubhouse, Rick Stowe, tuvo eso en mente cuando le asign�� ese n��mero a De La Cruz, quien ha trabajado junto a Davis en las menores y en los campamentos.

��Tengo mucha admiraci��n��, confes�� De la Cruz sobre Davis. ��S��lo estar ante su presencia es incre��ble. Me ha dado muchos consejos, especialmente cuando estoy robando bases. Me ha dado muchas sugerencias para que no me sorprendan��.

Elly de la Cruz espera tranquilo su oportunidad con los Rojos
