Unfortunately, he's as strikeout-prone as almost anyone else in the game, his 27.1 percent whiff rate fifth-worst among qualified hitters in 2011. Jackson did walk a little more often -- 8.4 percent of the time, up from 7.0 percent as a rookie -- but until he makes more consistent contact, he won't contribute much more than approximately 25 steals and 90 runs scored. Consider him in the late rounds, but beware in points-based leagues, where his propensity for strikeouts makes him a liability.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":7.3,"playerRater15DAY":2.3,"positionRank":18}
