Nevertheless, he'll continue to act as a utility man at the corner infield and outfield positions, with the potential for brief starting gigs when injuries inevitably arrive on the Padres' doorstep.","date":"Sun May 12"},"fullName":"Jesus Guzman","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After a strong finish to his 2011 season, Guzman's statistics somewhat predictably regressed. His BABIP slipped from .360 to .297, he made hard contact nine percent less often, and as a result his batting average tumbled from .312 to .247. Perhaps that was a bit of an overcorrection, but even accounting for that, Guzman looked quite the part of a platoon man, sporting .303/.401/.541 rates against lefties -- the second consecutive year he had an OPS greater than .890 against that side -- but .206/.253/.327 against righties. That's his role these days, filling in for a Padres team with left-handed hitters at first base (Yonder Alonso) and right field (Will Venable), plus backing up for an injury-prone Carlos Quentin in left field. Guzman is more pick-and-choose fantasy pick, attractive in daily leagues, but only a late-rounder in NL-only play.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-2,"playerRater15DAY":-1.4,"positionRank":118}
