He has received fairly consistent playing time, and he has provided serviceable numbers. Venable's numbers are essentially the same as 2011, and appear to be legitimate.","date":"Thu May 24"},"fullName":"Will Venable","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Venable is your prototypical platoon candidate. He's a .258/.327/.442 lifetime hitter versus right-handers, compared to .212/.289/.261 versus left-handers, his 219-point OPS split differential easily explaining why the Padres are considering pairing him with Chris Denorfia in right field. The problem, of course, is that Petco Park tends to suppress left-handed power, so Venable's contributions during his best matchups are rooted in steals, runs and RBIs. The sum total is that of a fourth or fifth NL-only outfielder, and one with some clear limitations.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":3,"playerRater15DAY":3.8,"positionRank":53}
