Two of the runs credited to him were allowed by Kyle Farnsworth, who inherited the bases loaded in the sixth. His 11.00 ERA is a result of two five-run outings already this year. McGee had seemed to right the ship after getting blown up in his first outing, and mainly has worked in the seventh inning this season. He still has at least two pitchers ahead of him for save opportunities, and with these explosions on his line, he's likely to stick in a lower-leverage role for now.","date":"Thu May 2"},"fullName":"Jake McGee","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"In his third season in the majors, McGee finally realized his potential as one of the game's most successful relievers. His 1.95 ERA ranked seventh, his 0.80 WHIP and 6.64 strikeout-to-walk ratio both ranked third, and he posted a third-ranked 1.81 FIP that showed that his performance was hardly fluky. Some of that can be attributed to increased fastball velocity; he averaged 95.6 mph with the pitch in 2012, up from 94.8 in 2011. Plus, thanks to impressive splits versus right-handed hitters -- they batted only .098/.157/.134 against him -- McGee is capable of serving as a one-inning setup man, meaning he's a handy ERA/WHIP/K's helper. In time, this is the kind of pitcher who could compete for saves in the Rays' bullpen. For now, with Fernando Rodney ahead of him, enjoy his contributions in middle relief.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.8,"playerRater15DAY":-3.9,"positionRank":226}
