This wear and tear has taken its toll as Suzuki has seen his playing time dwindle the past couple of seasons. This season, his playing time will be dictated by how fast Wilson Ramos is up to speed after missing the majority of 2012 after tearing his ACL. Working in Suzuki's favor is that he's a veteran who could be better suited to handle the Nationals' young, talented rotation. Thus, at least early on, Suzuki should see the lion's share of playing time as Ramos is eased back in. In fact, if Brian McCann, Carlos Ruiz or Yasmani Grandal is a keeper for you, Suzuki is perfect to hold down the fort until your guy is ready.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.3,"playerRater15DAY":-1.1,"positionRank":22}
