His average stands at .367 on the season, and he continues to provide fantasy owners with plenty of value, as he also has six home runs and eight stolen bases.","date":"Mon May 13"},"fullName":"Carlos Gomez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After five seasons as almost literally a one-category player, Gomez finally offered fantasy owners a hint of power in 2012. His pitch recognition and aggressiveness improved -- he swung 8 percent more often on pitches in the strike zone than he had two years prior and his well-hit average rose nearly 100 points -- and he got more lift on the ball, his ground ball rate dropping to a career-low 42.0 percent. Gomez's additions do give him a chance at filling the homers and steals columns for his fantasy owners, but that makes him much more a rotisserie asset than one in points-based leagues. He's a dreadful batting average performer and is even worse at drawing walks -- his career on-base percentage is .294! -- and the Brewers might not promise him everyday at-bats as a result. To give you a sense, in fantasy terms, of Gomez's range of 2013 probabilities, B.J. Upton's 2012 would be the absolute best case, while Cameron Maybin's 2012 might be a fair low-end expectation.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":8.5,"playerRater15DAY":-0.7,"positionRank":9}
