His last two starts have been rough, and it could be related to leaving the ball up in the zone, as he has induced 23 fly balls vs. just nine ground balls in those two games. His next start will be at home against the struggling Blue Jays offense.","date":"Thu May 2"},"fullName":"Jeremy Hellickson","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Hellickson is the rare pitcher who rebels against the \"stat geeks.\" In back-to-back seasons, he has had FIPs higher than four -- a 13th-worst 4.60 in 2012, 12th-worst 4.44 in 2011 -- his left-on-base percentage has been top-two -- 82.7 percent in 2012, 82.0 percent in 2011 -- and his BABIP has ranked among the lowest (sixth-lowest .264 in 2012, league-low .224 in 2011). Yet in 2011 and 2012 combined, Hellickson had a 3.02 ERA, which was 10th best of 75 qualified starting pitchers. Sabermetricians who take a casual glance might come away saying, \"This kid has simply been lucky.\" But pitchers do exercise a degree of control over batted balls, and Hellickson benefits from being backed by one of the game's most talented defenses. He also shaved a few walks off his tally and garnered 6 percent more ground balls, which diminish, albeit slightly, some of those luck factors. This is also a pitcher aged 25 (26 in April) who routinely struck out at least a batter per inning in the minors, meaning additional growth is possible. We understand some hesitation in buying Hellickson's Rotisserie stats, but that doesn't mean you should avoid him outright. It means only that you shouldn't reach for him early.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.2,"playerRater15DAY":1.7,"positionRank":83}
