He will get an MRI on Tuesday to ensure there isn't anything more serious. With the Giants out of contention for postseason play, Crawford will have plenty of time to nurse the injury and should be penciled in as the Giants' starting shortstop in 2014.","date":"Sun Sep 29"},"fullName":"Brandon Crawford","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Crawford is a glove man, and considering a majority of fantasy leagues fail to reward for that, he's a marginal NL-only asset. Defense should keep him in the lineup, at-bats resulting in a handful of runs and RBIs, but his .235 career batting average in the majors actually works against rather than for a fantasy team. He's a 26-year-old who averaged 13 homers and steals apiece per 162 games played in the minors, so perhaps it's unfair to completely write him off. But save the Giants' starting shortstop for NL-only leagues.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.3,"playerRater15DAY":-3.2,"positionRank":27}
