But that was all the offense Beckham and the rest of the team could muster. He has hit safely in eight of his last nine games but has just the one home run and three RBI in that span. Early injuries derailed what could have been a nice bounce-back year for the struggling second baseman, and while he reduced his strikeout rate and boosted his average, the lack of power shown keeps his value as low as it's been over the last few seasons.","date":"Sat Sep 28"},"fullName":"Gordon Beckham","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Do you feel lucky? On the surface, 2012 was just another disappointing season for Beckham. However, upon closer inspection, skills growth in power and contact were masked by an unfortunate average on balls in play. Beckham could be ready to display some of what was expected from the eighth overall pick of the 2008 draft. This is not a recommendation to chase the potential. But if selected late, Beckham is a candidate to surprise as he embarks on his age-27 campaign.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.7,"playerRater15DAY":1.8,"positionRank":20}
