Over his last six appearances, Schierholtz's counting stats have fallen off somewhat, as he's recorded one homer, two RBI, and three runs over his last 25 at-bats.","date":"Tue May 21"},"fullName":"Nate Schierholtz","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After six seasons in the majors, Schierholtz appears to have settled in as largely a left-handed platoon mate, despite the fact that his career statistics don't exactly justify it. He's a .266/.319/.413 hitter against right-handers and a .284/.317/.391 hitter against left-handers. Just because the Cubs will apparently use him that way -- a Schierholtz/Scott Hairston straight platoon in right field seems in order - that doesn't mean you should assume he's fine to exploit in that fashion. Daily-league owners generally can't pick the days he's worthwhile; personal histories against specific pitchers are about the only way to do so. Schierholtz is more of a low-end NL-only outfielder, although one can wonder whether he might have warranted a chance to prove he can do more.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.1,"playerRater15DAY":-0.5,"positionRank":44}
