As he typically does, Bruce will bat in the five hole in the order.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Jay Bruce","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Well, we probably now have our answer: Bruce the big leaguer is going to be one who swings more for power than batting average. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) For the third consecutive year, he hit more home runs than the season before, a feat paralleled both in the walk and strikeout rate categories. His 23.8 percent K rate, in fact, was 14th-highest among qualified hitters, so owning him means being prepared for extended slumps -- like his .217/.301/.348 June -- and dealing with a batting average that might always fall within range of his .256 career number. But in Bruce's defense, the boost in walks helps, he'll turn just 25 years old in April, and he calls home one of the best ballparks for power in Great American Ball Park, so don't discount him in points leagues. And would you really be shocked if this is the year he contends for a home run crown?","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":5.6,"playerRater15DAY":-3.3,"positionRank":23}
