Norichika Aoki, the team's current right fielder, has an contract option to return for the 2014 season.","date":"Tue Oct 1"},"fullName":"Ryan Braun","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Question Braun? He has answers. After having his 2011 National League MVP award cast under a shroud of controversy -- it was announced weeks after he won it that he had tested positive for PEDs and faced a 50-game suspension, a ban overturned on appeal -- Braun put forth a 2012 that was practically as good, eliminating any doubt of his abilities. He had more home runs (41 in 2012, 33 in 2011) and RBIs (112 and 111), and was comparable in OPS (.987 and .994) and WAR (6.8 and 7.7). Braun did so despite the free-agent departure of Prince Fielder the previous January; Fielder had batted behind Braun 147 times the year before, Braun's accomplishments in spite of that demonstrating the fallacies of \"lineup protection.\" Since Braun's May 27, 2007, debut, he is one of three players to total at least a .300 batting average, 200 home runs and 600 apiece of runs and RBIs -- Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols are the others -- and he's the only one of the three with more than 100 steals. He's a five-category fantasy superstar and, at age 29, makes as strong a case for the first pick in the draft as there is.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon Feb 11"},"positionRank":80}
