Joe Mather will move up to the third spot in the lineup with right-hander A.J. Burnett on the bump for the Bucs. Manager Dale Sveum said recently that he was thinking about shaking up the top of the order, but it remains to be seen how long this change will last.","date":"Fri May 25"},"fullName":"Starlin Castro","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Just 22 years old come Opening Day, Castro has already earned a place for himself in the history books: He's only the second shortstop to have managed multiple batting title-eligible seasons with at least a .300 batting average before his 22nd birthday, joining Hall of Famer Arky Vaughan, while Alex Rodriguez (215, 1996, age 20) is the only other shortstop to have managed more hits in a season before turning 22. Granted, Castro might be a couple of years off his power prime, but mild advances in terms of homers, line-drive and fly-ball percentages, and isolated power hint at greater things ahead. He has already exceeded expectations at a young age, so don't be quick to declare it impossible he'll do it again in Year No. 3. So long as he keeps his head on straight, he might be one of 2012's breakout stars.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":5.8,"playerRater15DAY":1.1,"positionRank":2}
