However, it looks like his calf is the issue now and he will spend time on the bench to recover. Look for Eric Hinske and Juan Francisco to split time while Chipper is out of the lineup.","date":"Fri May 25"},"fullName":"Chipper Jones","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"We'll state it up front: Jones turns 40 in April, and in the history of baseball, only 13 players managed a .300 batting average or better in a qualified season at that age or older, while only 11 managed at least an .800 OPS. Age works against Jones; his .268/.371/.444 numbers combined already show a distinct \"twilight years\" trend. Still, the Braves continue to slot him into a top-third-of-the-lineup spot, helping pad his counting numbers (runs, RBIs), and Jones still manages to possess a little pop in his bat (.196 isolated power in 2011). Nagging aches and pains are what are mostly slowing him down, and while he's a useful cog in larger leagues -- NL-only or as a short-term mixed-league corner man -- Jones shouldn't be mistaken for one of the better fantasy third basemen available.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":2.5,"playerRater15DAY":-1.8,"positionRank":14}
