Frankly, it has to get better from here, if only because it couldn't get much worse. He had precisely one thing going for him: He walked 9.2 percent of the time, a skill he also exhibited in the minors (9.1 percent career rate), meaning at least he seemed to possess the same knowledge of the strike zone that he had when he was tabbed Keith Law's No. 8 prospect overall entering 2012. Remember, catchers often take time to fully adapt in the bigs, and Mesoraco has pop in his bat and a hitter-friendly home ballpark to exploit it. He will begin this year a part-timer or backup, and will be a cheap NL-only No. 2 backstop as a result. At that price, he's worth a look based on potential alone.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.7,"playerRater15DAY":0.7,"positionRank":30}
