Luebke, who will undergo the procedure Wednesday, is hoping to be ready to pitch by April or May next year. However, since recovery from Tommy John surgery usually takes about a year, it remains to be seen just how much time he will miss at the beginning of next season.","date":"Mon May 21"},"fullName":"Cory Luebke","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"It took three months for the Padres to recognize Luebke's value, but once they moved him into their rotation June 26, he became one of the game's most underrated fantasy starters. In 17 turns he had a 3.31 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 9.92 strikeouts-per-nine innings ratio, resulting in a No. 41 finish among starting pitchers on our Player Rater despite his having pitched only 139 2/3 innings all year. What's more, Luebke wasn't entirely a product of his cavernous home ballpark; he had a 4.04 ERA and 1.13 WHIP at home, compared to 2.55 and 1.00 on the road. The Padres' light-hitting lineup might cost him some in the wins department, but Luebke's ability to maintain low ratios makes him an excellent midround value.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.9,"positionRank":62}
