He's definitely made the most of his increased playing time with Yoenis Cespedes still on the shelf and should continue to be very useful with the extra at-bats. Once Cespedes returns, he'll fall back into his usual platoon, so enjoy it while you can.","date":"Tue Apr 23"},"fullName":"Seth Smith","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Smith's power improved a tick despite moving from the thin air in Coors Field to the cavernous O.Co. Coliseum. It is likely he falls back some this season, which means it is even more important that an increased strikeout rate was a blip. As is, Smith is best deployed as a fantasy reserve since his playing time will be dictated by the health of his teammates. If someone believes Smith's power is for real and anticipates an improved batting average, let them have him. There's a bunch of alternate choices that are either safer or offer more upside.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.1,"playerRater15DAY":2.7,"positionRank":40}
