If that does occur, look for Omar Quintanilla to be promoted and share shortstop with Justin Turner.","date":"Tue May 21"},"fullName":"Ruben Tejada","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Tejada's contributions in the \"counting\" categories -- he has per-162-game paces of one home run and six stolen bases in the bigs -- threaten to relegate him to a career beneath the mixed-league cutoff, but as an NL-only asset, he's quite intriguing if the price is right. As a player with a 7.8 percent career minor league walk rate (and 7.4 percent in the majors), Tejada has a low downside in terms of batting average, and his on-base percentage is healthy enough to result in a handful of runs, considering he's typically a top-two hitter for the Mets. He's also 23 years old and averaged 18 steals per 162 minor league contests, so more speed is possible. Price him as a \"can't-hurt-you\" NL-only middle infielder, with a hint of growth potential.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.6,"playerRater15DAY":-5.2,"positionRank":32}
