Meanwhile he's grounded into seven double plays (tied for fourth). Manager Eric Wedge insists he hasn't technically benched Ryan, but Ryan has started only three of the last seven games. Fortunately for Ryan, his glove is still top-notch, and his replacement, Robert Andino, is no better at the plate.","date":"Sat May 11"},"fullName":"Brendan Ryan","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Ryan is all glove and no bat, a .244/.306/.327 lifetime hitter -- and .194/.277/.278 in 2012 -- whose hitting rates are so poor that they hurt a fantasy team as much as his string of four consecutive seasons of double-digit steals help. He's so skilled in the field that the Mariners probably will give him another year of regular at-bats, but there's no mistaking that he's merely a placeholder until the team's top shortstop prospect, Nick Franklin, is ready ... which could be by midsummer. Ryan might be able to plug an AL-only middle-infield hole on a temporary basis, as BABIP fluctuations drive his batting average, but it'd be wise not to expect much.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-4.8,"playerRater15DAY":-3.8,"positionRank":50}
