One obstacle facing Schierholtz: The Giants already have a lot of switch-hitting or left-handed outfielders, so there isn't a natural platoon fit for him on the roster. He might only start on a limited basis, so unless the team's alternatives slump in the spring, he shouldn't be regarded as more than NL-only roster filler.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.9,"playerRater15DAY":-4.3,"positionRank":92}
