In addition to giving up a lot of hits in less than four innings, his pitch count was at 84 when Dusty Baker went to his bullpen. Lucky for Leake the Reds' bullpen and offense carried them as they defeated the Rockies. His ERA on the season now sits at 5.47 to go along with 31 strikeouts and 15 walks.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Mike Leake","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Leake continues to take baby steps as a big leaguer, his most significant improvements during his sophomore season being his command -- his 2.04 walks per nine was a substantial drop from 2010's 3.19 -- and polish on a cutter, which was mostly responsible for an 89-point OPS drop against left-handers between 2010 and 2011. Still, even with those, Leake lacks a singular pitch that's lights-out, one that might someday put him in the game's elite class. Here's the problem with that: With Aroldis Chapman a consideration for the 2012 rotation, Leake isn't guaranteed a rotation spot at the onset of spring training. NL-only owners should squeeze some value from Leake, but his upside is limited.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.3,"playerRater15DAY":1.1,"positionRank":153}
