With Avila hitting just .155 in his past 24 games, he could probably use the time off to clear his head. While he'll continue to sit against lefties, Avila should find himself back behind the plate Friday and active against most right-handed pitching going forward.","date":"Thu May 23"},"fullName":"Alex Avila","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"While compared to 2011, Avila's effort last season is disappointing, but the truth is 2011 may end up being his career season, so anything will pale in comparison. Last year, knee woes reduced Avila's playing time and lowered his production. This year, Avila is healthy and is expected to be the bell cow for the Tigers. Avila is not roster fodder in one-catcher leagues, but in formats requiring a pair of backstops, Avila is an under-the-radar bounceback candidate.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.2,"playerRater15DAY":-3.2,"positionRank":40}
