It was only the second homer Holland has allowed this season, and his opponents are batting just .194 against him so far this year.","date":"Sat Apr 27"},"fullName":"Derek Holland","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Once considered a future staff ace, Holland has instead settled in as more of a middle-of-the-rotation type for the Rangers, with his command numbers and his fly ball rate not at the levels necessary to foreshadow an imminent breakthrough. Perhaps Rangers Ballpark is what's holding him back; he had a 5.14 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 32 games there over the past two seasons, compared to 3.50 and 1.17 in 29 games on the road. Those paint the picture of a matchups consideration in mixed leagues or a middle-of-your-staff AL-only option, but at the same time Holland has made tiny advances in terms of his control, especially with his fastball, each year. He's 26 years old and broke into the majors with high expectations, so it's not unthinkable that he has additional steps to take. Always be careful with Rangers pitchers, but this one is one of the more intriguing mid-rounders.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3,"playerRater15DAY":-1.1,"positionRank":48}
