The vibe I'm getting from doctors and the front office and stuff, it seems like they're not too optimistic.\"","spin":"This was expected following the left-hander's diagnosis of a torn UCL on Saturday, but O'Flaherty confirmed Sunday that he's likely headed for Tommy John surgery. He said he will cling to the hope that it's an old tear that he could pitch through after a couple weeks of rest, but chances are O'Flaherty's on the shelf for a calendar year after the procedure. The Braves may be in the market for a lefty reliever now that they're without both O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters.","date":"Mon May 20"},"fullName":"Eric O'Flaherty","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Perhaps due to his being overshadowed by Craig Kimbrel's all-time great seasons of 2011 and 2012, O'Flaherty hasn't received quite the attention his statistics the past two years deserve. He has the lowest ERA (1.31) and second-most holds (60) during that two-year span, thrusting himself into the primary setup role for the Braves. Though better against lefties (.536 career OPS allowed) than righties (.724), O'Flaherty is capable of serving in one-inning stints, and while he might not be first in line for saves -- Jordan Walden is a candidate for that -- his numbers sure say NL-only owners who grab him for holds/ratio help should keep the possibility in mind.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.9,"playerRater15DAY":-1.3,"positionRank":48}
