Though the injury ended his season prematurely, it hardly qualified as a disappointment for Castro, who emerged as a foundational player for the Astros with 18 homers, 56 RBI and a .276 batting average.","date":"Thu Sep 19"},"fullName":"Jason Castro","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After missing all of 2011 following ACL surgery, then a month in 2012 following surgery to have the same right knee drained, Castro returned to finish last season on a somewhat high note. He managed .261/.343/.443 rates in 33 games as the team's starting catcher, his role for 2013, and hit four home runs to show a bit of power growth. Always adept at drawing walks -- he had a 12.0 percent rate in the minors and 10.5 percent in the majors in 2012 -- Castro might be a low-level, AL-only power/on-base sleeper in those formats that require two backstops. His injury issues lend themselves to questions about his ability to handle a full season's catching chores, but if he comes cheap enough, he's worth a look.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3,"positionRank":11}
