While he didn't display stellar stuff, he was able to escape numerous scenarios with multiple runners on base, including the first frame when the Mariners loaded the bases, with minimal damage in the end. He'll next toe the rubber Sunday in Boston, who put a four spot on him over six innings in his sole career start.","date":"Wed Apr 24"},"fullName":"Bud Norris","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"With Norris, it's all about the strikeouts. His 8.84 K's-per-nine innings ratio the past three seasons combined ranks him among the top 10 in the majors. However, there are three obstacles standing in Norris' path to fantasy success. One is that he lacks an out pitch against left-handed hitters, making him susceptible to matchups against lefty-laden lineups. The second is that his Astros' move from the National League Central to the American League West puts him in the more hitting-rich AL, as well as a division with the potent Rangers and Angels lineups. And the third is that he's backed by arguably the weakest offense in all of baseball, which could affect his win total. Those who draft Norris have to be looking merely for strikeouts, which is a plus in points leagues, and his savviest owners might be able to pick and choose his matchups. But he shouldn't be trusted every time out in Rotisserie formats, simple as that.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.6,"playerRater15DAY":-3.9,"positionRank":93}
