Reddick is now hitting .309 since coming off the DL on May 31 with two home runs. If he was dropped due to his injury or struggles, grab him now.","date":"Sun Jun 16"},"fullName":"Josh Reddick","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Reddick, acquired in last winter's Andrew Bailey trade, was as surprising a 2012 breakthrough as his entire Athletics team. After never hitting more than 23 home runs in any previous professional season, he exploded for 32, making a concerted effort to drive the ball. His 52 percent fly ball rate was tops in the majors; understand that a rate in that range, especially coupled with his 22.4 percent strikeout rate, guarantees a low batting average because of the frequency of which fly balls that stay in the park are converted into outs. With Reddick, you're targeting power, power and more power. And that's not necessarily a plus, as he plays in a pitcher-friendly park and could endure some correction to his home run/fly ball percentage, as well as his 11 steals -- only three of which came after the All-Star break. Reddick is your classic \"regression to the mean\" candidate, his power not completely subsiding but only improving if he makes adjustments to be a more well-rounded hitter in 2013.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":0.1,"playerRater15DAY":2.3,"positionRank":96}
