Control has not been his friend in 2013, as he has issues 14 walks - two of them Thursday - in 17.2 innings. Strop has allowed 12 earned runs, but he is out of options so the Orioles are giving him a leash to work with.","date":"Fri May 24"},"fullName":"Pedro Strop","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Acquired from the Rangers in the 2011 Mike Gonzalez deadline deal, Strop has been quite a find for the Orioles since. In 82 appearances since that trade, Strop has a 2.17 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 28 holds, but also a 1.75 strikeout-to-walk ratio -- not to mention a left-on-base rate near 85 percent -- that hints he has been aided somewhat by good fortune during that time. An extremely hard thrower -- his fastball averaged 96.9 mph in 2012 -- Strop will occupy the eighth-inning role again for the Orioles, where he'll serve as Jim Johnson's caddie as well as potentially helping AL-only owners in ERA and K's.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.8,"playerRater15DAY":-1.9,"positionRank":221}
