With a .272 average, 14 homers and 65 RBI on the season, he's been an unsung hero for baseball's best lineup this season.","date":"Sat Sep 28"},"fullName":"Jarrod Saltalamacchia","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"A spike in HR/FB resulted in a career high in homers for Saltalamacchia last season. Even though catchers historically develop power later in their career arc, the increase is not likely sustainable, so a fallback should be anticipated. Saltalamacchia's contact rate remains low, so he needs every homer he can muster to be fantasy viable, especially in one-catcher leagues. The back end of the catcher pool is weak, as usual. Don't pay for last season's power, and make sure you can buffer his average if you do take the chance that most of the power is retained.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":6.1,"playerRater15DAY":5.5,"positionRank":10}
