He walked three batters (in 36 innings) the entire 2012 season; the closer ahead of him in the Red Sox bullpen, Joel Hanrahan, has walked that many in a game on four occasions in his career as a reliever. That helps keep Uehara's WHIP among the annual relief leaders, at least in seasons he's healthy enough to qualify, and it could make him a fill-in candidate midseason should Hanrahan collapse. Incredibly, though, Uehara hasn't done much in the holds category, with only 35 of 'em in his three big league seasons. This is ratio-seeking at its finest, and little more.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":0.8,"playerRater15DAY":1.9,"positionRank":61}
