With injuries to Chavez and Aaron Hill (hand), the D-Backs will likely give most of the second-base opportunities to Pennington, with Martin Prado sliding over to cover third base.","date":"Thu May 30"},"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":0.7,"playerRater15DAY":0.9,"positionRank":36}
