He further helped his cause by batting .360 at Triple-A, so he could become a top pinch-hitting option for the team as well.","date":"Thu May 16"},"fullName":"DJ LeMahieu","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"We'll give LeMahieu this: He can swing the bat. A lifetime .317 minor league and .287 major league hitter (a season-plus, granted), he has never batted lower than .305 (that was in 2011) in any of his four professional seasons, primarily driven by an 87.0 percent contact rate. Unfortunately, that's about where his fantasy usefulness ends, with his rate of 14 stolen bases per 162 games as a pro as his only other plus. LeMahieu is the kind of player useful to his real team in a backup capacity, and he won't hurt NL-only owners plugging roster holes.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.3,"playerRater15DAY":-2.5,"positionRank":37}
