He hadn't pitched since April, but should remain a member of the starting rotation as long as he stays healthy.","date":"Mon Jun 17"},"fullName":"John Lannan","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Signed to fill the Phillies' fifth-starter void, Lannan is a pitcher as subject to his surroundings as anyone. In the past five seasons combined, he has the second-lowest strikeout-to-walk ratio in the game (1.43), and since 2009 his 53.5 percent ground-ball rate is 12th highest (both stats among qualifiers). Moving to Philadelphia, therefore, isn't a positive for him, being that Citizens Bank Park has a reputation for being more hitter-friendly than Nationals Park -- though the stats the past three seasons say they're similar -- plus the Phillies' infield defense is likely to be weaker than that of the Nationals. Lannan's number of useful matchups in NL-only leagues might lessen, so prepare accordingly.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.8,"playerRater15DAY":-1.5,"positionRank":184}
