Expect Crawford to return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Brandon Crawford","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Crawford's glove at shortstop is no doubt ready, so the Giants plan on handing him the job and hope he can learn to hit. That plan worked for Ozzie Smith and Omar Vizquel; perhaps San Francisco can find lightning in a bottle. This is not to say Crawford will be a Hall of Famer or play until he is 48, but it does show there's a precedent. Something optimistic to hang your hat on is Crawford makes reasonable contact -- it is just weak with limited line drives. That said, even though the goal of deep leagues is to accumulate as many at-bats as possible, let someone else take a chance with Crawford, at least until he starts doing backflips at the beginning of the game.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Feb 15"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.6,"playerRater15DAY":1.8,"positionRank":29}
