In his first full season in the majors in 2012, he seemed to settle in, chipping in 34 doubles and 20 home runs, but at the same time he struck out more than three times more often than he walked and was often a liability at the plate. Moustakas' approach appears to have shifted at this level; he strikes out a lot more (20.2 percent last year) than he did in the minors (14.2 percent at the Triple-A level) and he had a 49.8 percent fly ball rate in 2012 that suggests he's trading average for power. Moustakas might not be far off from realizing his 30-homer potential, and those who draft him in the middle rounds are seeking that rather than much of a batting average contribution. He's probably not yet at the point where he's a major points-league asset, due to his free-swinging nature, but some growth in all formats should be expected.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":0.4,"playerRater15DAY":-2.3,"positionRank":38}
