Baxter hasn't been playing much lately, with just one start this month, and he failed to do much with the opportunities he was given. In 85 at-bats, the 28-year-old hit just .212/.333/.282 with zero homers and four RBI.","date":"Sun Jun 9"},"fullName":"Mike Baxter","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The man who went so \"all-out\" to preserve Johan Santana's June 1, 2012, no-hitter that he displaced his collarbone crashing into the outfield fence, costing him nearly two months, Baxter enters Mets camp as the leading contender for a starting corner outfielder spot. It's that fierceness, coupled with a penchant for walks (11.8 percent rate last year), that might keep him in the lineup at least as the left-handed portion of a platoon. A sneaky on-base performer, Baxter averaged 15 home runs and 21 stolen bases per 162 games at the Triple-A level, making him an attractive late rounder in NL-only formats if he impresses during the spring.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-4.2,"playerRater15DAY":-4,"positionRank":138}
