He'll ace a stiffer test in his next start against the Rockies at Coors Field.","date":"Fri May 17"},"fullName":"Trevor Cahill","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"As an extreme ground ball pitcher -- his 62.5 percent rate last season was tops in the majors -- with a modest strikeout rate, Cahill puts the onus on his defense to make plays behind him. That's the kind of skill set that leads to more unpredictability in terms of ERA and WHIP and a greater need to pick and choose matchups, though in his defense the Diamondbacks did have one of the better defenses in the game last season. What his fantasy owners do wish is that he'd lean more on his curveball. He has recorded a strikeout in 38 percent of his plate appearances that ended in one and limited foes to a .598 OPS with the pitch in his career. Considering Cahill enters 2013 at only 25 years old, he might yet have room to grow, and his arsenal bears watching this spring accordingly. The Cahill we've seen to this point in his career has a limited ceiling within range of his 2012 numbers, but if he lingers late enough in your draft, he might be worth a shot.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.3,"playerRater15DAY":1.9,"positionRank":34}
