for a Cruz comp based on the stats, though obviously while their counting and rate stats are pretty similar Cruz hits in a much lower offensive-output-era so his output is significantly more valuable than Canseco's was, era-adjusted.  Honestly, I look at Vlad Guerrero as another close-ish comp for Cruz, though he obviously does it a little differently (more traditional kill-shot zone and about 25 BA points lower than Primy Vladdy).  it's hard to find power hitters bashing 40 bombs who don't walk for a hundred points year-in, year-out, but those two (and Canseco) kinda fit that mold.

Obviously I don't get to watch games from here in the Philipipnes, but Jean Segura's statline looks an awful lot like Michael Young's prime (more speed, less power, but similar right-handed BA and OBP from a MIF position--and Michael Young always reminded me of a 3/4 Edgar at the plate).
