However, a more conservative approach on the basepaths has caused his fantasy value to slip beneath the mixed-league cutoff. He has amassed double-digit steals in each of the past three seasons, but his total of 35 in those years falls short of his Triple-A number in 2009 alone (46). AL-only owners might find value in Brantley, who probably will slide to his stronger defensive position of left field with Michael Bourn and Drew Stubbs now in Cleveland, as he possesses minimal downside in terms of batting average and shouldn't cost much. But considering that he's a ground ball hitter who isn't blazingly quick -- not to mention one who stands to lose a handful of at-bats -- he probably doesn't have much room for growth.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":6.7,"playerRater15DAY":5.3,"positionRank":38}
