The do-or-die nature of Monday's contest will include his presence, though it remains to be seen how limited, if it all, the outfielder truly is.","date":"Mon Sep 30"},"fullName":"Desmond Jennings","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Jennings' presence is a major reason the Rays allowed B.J. Upton to depart via free agency during the winter; he'll shift to center field and, statistically, isn't a far cry from Upton outside of the home runs. Now in his prime -- he's 26 -- and with parts of three seasons' big league experience, Jennings might have already made the adjustments necessary to be a breakthrough performer in 2013. His .258/.329/.419 rates, eight homers and 16-for-17 stolen-base performance the second half of last season look quite a bit like the player we saw in Triple-A or the second half of 2011 in the majors, and if you play in a league that values on-base percentage rather than batting average, he's especially attractive thanks to a 9.0 percent career walk rate. Jennings' most bankable asset is his speed; if he gets on base at a .350 clip, he could swipe as many as 50 bags. Anything else he offers beyond his career-to-date averages would be gravy.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.5,"playerRater15DAY":3,"positionRank":39}
