Though it's a dangerous game trying to chase wins from a mediocre middle reliever, he sure has been in the right place at the right time lately, and at least he's been pitching well during that stretch.","date":"Sat Sep 14"},"fullName":"Carlos Villanueva","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Villanueva parlayed a workman-like performance as a late-season rotation fill-in for the snake-bitten 2012 Blue Jays into a two-year, $10-million deal with the Cubs, where he'll probably return to his previous swingman role on a team just as likely to have future rotation vacancies. What changed for him last year: improvement upon his slider, responsible for 72 of his 122 whiffs. That made Villanueva a bit of a strikeouts sleeper, and that's his upside in NL-only formats or from a matchups angle. Matchups-wise, he has a 3.52 career ERA against sub-.500 teams, so if -- or when -- he moves into the Cubs' rotation, he could become a sneaky plug-and-play type.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":4.6,"playerRater15DAY":1.9,"positionRank":100}
