The lefty has given up eight runs over 10.1 innings since rejoining the A's at the end of August.","date":"Sun Sep 15"},"fullName":"Brett Anderson","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Small sample size, yes, but Anderson returned from Tommy John surgery late last season with largely the same skill set he possessed before it. His strikeout and walk rates between the majors and minors were spot-on, and his ground-ball rate actually increased, from 54.4 percent from 2009 to '11 to 59.6 percent in his six big-league starts in 2012. If there are any knocks on Anderson, they're that he's not much of a strikeout artist -- 6.89 K's per nine in his career -- and he has a checkered health history that, in addition to the elbow surgery, includes four DL stints for elbow problems as well as a strained oblique that prematurely ended his 2012 season. He might also face an innings cap, as many young pitchers fresh off the surgery do, having thrown only 60 1/3 innings combined between the majors and minors last season. Anderson is as boom/bust as pitchers come, but picks like these in the middle rounds often make a winning fantasy squad. Remember, he's still just 25 years old. He has plenty of time to realize his potential.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.4,"playerRater15DAY":-0.7,"positionRank":249}
