It may be hard for Pence to replicate his 20-20 campaign moving forward because he'll be on the wrong side of 30 for the length of the contract, but he should nonetheless remain an impact bat for the Giants with few promising offensive prospects coming up the pipeline.","date":"Sat Sep 28"},"fullName":"Hunter Pence","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Pence is an accumulator; he has good but not great skills, and accrues a bounty of counting stats because he is very durable and rarely misses a game. More of the same can be expected this season, although a full year in AT&T Park could chop a couple of homers off Pence's total. Of small concern is that Pence's contact rate last season was a career low, although he deserves the benefit of the doubt that it was just variance and not a loss of skill. This type of player is often shunned in lieu of sexier names with greater upside. Thus, Pence is potentially an underpriced but stabilizing fantasy contributor.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":15.6,"playerRater15DAY":5.5,"positionRank":7}
