The star third baseman and his team seem to have a flair for the dramatic, with Longoria memorably hitting a total of five Game 162 home runs in 2011 and 2012. He now has a Game 163 dinger for his highlight reel, with a play-in game against the Indians scheduled for Wednesday. Should the Rays win that contest, they'll go on to face Boston in the ALDS. As for Longoria, he finishes the season with a .269 batting average, 32 home runs, 91 runs, 88 RBI, and one stolen base.","date":"Mon Sep 30"},"fullName":"Evan Longoria","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Longoria is quickly developing a reputation for being one of the most injury-prone players in the game, and to an extent that's fair. He has played only 637 of 800 scheduled Rays games since his big league debut and made three trips to the DL, though in his defense two could be termed fluky: He suffered a fractured wrist on a hit-by-pitch in 2008, and his partially torn left hamstring last year was the result of a slide into second on a stolen base attempt. Picking Longoria in the early rounds requires a leap of faith, so we'll give you his 2012 stats prorated to 162 games to outline your hope: .289 batting average, 36 home runs, 116 RBIs, 82 runs scored. Fantasy owners in points-based leagues might be more apt to chance it; he's one of the better players in terms of plate discipline, his 0.67 walks-per-strikeout ratio the past three seasons combined ranking him in the upper 20 percent of qualifiers. Longoria belongs in the discussion for the top 25 overall players in any format on skills, but the longer he slides in your draft, the comfier you'll feel.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.2,"playerRater15DAY":5.7,"positionRank":4}
