The Rangers remain convinced Harrison will be able to pitch this season, but it could be well after the All-Star break. He's probably droppable at this point in most mixed leagues and shallow AL-only leagues with limited bench slots.","date":"Wed May 1"},"fullName":"Matt Harrison","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After his stellar 2011, many were skeptical that Harrison could repeat his success, largely due to a low strikeout rate and the stigma of working in the hitter-friendly Rangers Ballpark at Arlington. But alas, Harrison actually spun a better ERA last season, though to be fair his expected ERAs were all higher than the previous season. Harrison induces a good number of ground balls, which keeps his homers in check and mitigates some of the venue concern. If others are still reticent to trust the southpaw, don't be shy about taking the chance. His upside is limited, but so is his downside. Just be sure you can cover the paucity of punchouts.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"positionRank":198}
