Both pitchers have excelled out of the Royals' bullpen, but consider Crow the favorite over Hochevar given that he has closing experience and has pitched more in late-inning situations this year.","date":"Tue May 7"},"fullName":"Luke Hochevar","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"For his career, Hochevar's ERA is significantly worse than his FIP and xFIP. Over a season or two, that is usually chalked up to bad luck. But with five seasons and 771 innings under his belt, there could be a tangible reason. One plausible explanation is that when Hochevar works from the stretch, his effectiveness drops more than the average pitcher. This results in a greater percentage of runners scoring (low LOB%) and a high ERA. From a skills basis, Hochevar is right around league average. But until he figures out how to work out of jams, his fantasy utility is minimal.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.5,"playerRater15DAY":1,"positionRank":90}
