Descalso's put together some reasonably nice numbers in limited time this season, batting .274/.339/.443 across 106 at-bats with three home runs, 20 RBI and four stolen bases. He'll keep seeing action around the infield for St. Louis a few times a week.","date":"Fri Jun 7"},"fullName":"Daniel Descalso","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Projected to begin the year as the Cardinals' starting second baseman, Descalso is a player whose skill set profiles better in a utility role, but who serves as a placeholder until prospect Kolten Wong is ready. The reason: Descalso doesn't really stand out in any one aspect of his game, other than perhaps walks, and let's point out that he had an 8.6 percent walk rate but a .347 on-base percentage in his minor league career, and 8.6/.318 numbers in those categories in his first three years in St. Louis. Do those look like the stats of an on-base specialist? Hardly. NL-only owners will need to plug middle-infield holes with players like this -- assuming he keeps a starting job -- but Descalso doesn't have much more to offer.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.5,"playerRater15DAY":1.1,"positionRank":15}
