Most likely, the Pirates second baseman is searching for his timing after spending two-plus weeks on the DL.","date":"Sun May 19"},"fullName":"Neil Walker","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Walker is a viable fall-back plan if you miss out on the elite middle infielders early and just want someone who won't hurt you in the spot. His skills are average, but since Walker does a little of everything and hits near the top of the order, the counting stats can accumulate at a solid rate. The one caveat is Walker has played more than 129 games just once in the past three seasons, in 2011 when he totaled 159. On the other hand, this could depress Walker's market value, and you can always play someone in his stead if necessary.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.3,"playerRater15DAY":-2.6,"positionRank":29}
