Jose Cruz bats in the 2 spot for the Houston Astros on the NES version of RBI. He is a good player, although not the most powerful. That's why putting a power hitter like Phil Garner in at the three spot is a quality choice. Cruz gets on base more than any other Astro, so the big goal should be getting him in.
