Here's the bet Z made: I can beat all those AL West-types in '15, kicking tail and taking names!   Sensing some AL West weakness he splash-landed and sprayed water over some of those Billy Beanes out there. 
Signing Cruz says, more than inking Cano in fact, that we're winning now baby.  The clock is ticking/the window is closing/more cliches after that.
BTW: He's moving from the (Hardball Times) 2nd easiest ballpark to hit it out in LCF to the 3rd toughest.  The Yard is almost exactly league average in terms of hitting homers to LF, Safeco is the 2nd toughest.
28 of his 40 homers came to those two places.  But I will give him this, he actually hit considerably more on the road (25) than he did in his cozy home confines (15).  But counting on another 40 isn't a very good bet.  not that any of you guys are.....
If we can get 27 homers and 30 doubles, be very tickled.  Two years of that and it's a decent purchase.  Three years and Cruz was cheap.
Or if he leads us to the ALCS in Year One, then he's cheap already.
He wouldn't be my first choice to dance with at the prom, but he's cute enough.
