It's that ability that makes him a meaningful fantasy reliever even if he's not closing, and as the 2013 season dawned, it appeared Jansen would not be closing following the Dodgers' signing of Brandon League to a four-year, $27.5 million deal. The Dodgers' hesitance to push Jansen back into the role in which he was so successful early last season is somewhat understandable; he missed chunks of each of the past two years with an irregular heartbeat and had surgery in October to correct it. Still, he's one of the game's middle relievers with the highest ceiling, and on skills alone he can and should challenge League for the job in-season, just as he did Javy Guerra a year ago. Consider Jansen one of the top handcuffs in the game, a valuable ERA/WHIP/K's helper, and perhaps one of the best bargains among middle men.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.6,"playerRater15DAY":4,"positionRank":5}
