With Didi Gregorius entrenched at shortstop, Pennington has found himself in a timeshare at second base. Unfortunately, his playing time could dwindle even more with the eventual return of Hill. The Diamondbacks' utility man has not done much with this opportunity, batting a putrid .208 on the season. When Pennington was asked about his season so far, he simply said \"When you get the chance to play you got to play.\" He will need to show some life at the plate for manager Kirk Gibson to continue to put him on the field.","date":"Wed May 15"},"fullName":"Cliff Pennington","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The Diamondbacks acquired Pennington as part of the deal sending Chris Young to Oakland, ostensibly to be the everyday shortstop. Then Arizona acquired Didi Gregorius, announcing he would be given the chance to win the job, perhaps as rationalization for parting with former prized prospect Trevor Bauer in the swap. Now factor in Willie Bloomquist and John McDonald, and Pennington's playing time is in doubt. If it appears Gregorius will win the job, don't summarily ignore Pennington as his cost will be next to nothing and there is a good chance Gregorius scuffles and is sent down or Pennington could be dealt to a team where he gets decent playing time and provides some cheap steals.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.9,"playerRater15DAY":-3.1,"positionRank":42}
