Kozma himself has just two hits in last 16 at-bats, with few counting stats -- two RBI and one run scored -- to show for his effort. Without a more substantial batting average, his value is lessened, as he will never display much power nor base stealing acumen.","date":"Mon May 13"},"fullName":"Pete Kozma","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Kozma, who started the Cardinals' final 13 regular-season games and 13 postseason games filling in for the injured Rafael Furcal at shortstop, has a clear path to a starting role at the position now that Furcal has succumbed to season-ending Tommy John surgery. Unfortunately, Kozma's strength is his defense; he was a .236/.308/.344 lifetime minor league hitter who has averaged 10 homers and steals apiece per 162 games as a pro. Kozma's .214 postseason batting average is closer to his true potential than his .333 regular-season mark; he's last-round-NL-only-pick material.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Fri Mar 8"},"playerRater30DAY":0.9,"playerRater15DAY":0,"positionRank":20}
