The most important thing is that he played all nine innings a day after playing three innings off the bench, so perhaps the oblique injury is indeed behind him.","date":"Mon Jun 17"},"fullName":"Starling Marte","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"A tremendously athletic prospect who parlayed a .286/.347/.500 triple-slash for Triple-A Indianapolis into a successful late-season audition for the Pirates in 2012, Marte now projects to be the team's starting left fielder come Opening Day. Although a free swinger -- he walked only 4.4 percent but struck out 27.5 percent of the time in 47 big league games, and had 5.1 and 19.9 career minor league rates in those categories, respectively -- Marte utilized his power-speed combination to tally five homers and 12 steals, paces right in line with his previous pro performances. NL-only owners will want to keep tabs on his spring progress, as there's plenty of upside in his bat and legs, but struggles might be possible as he fully adapts to the majors, based on those K/walk numbers as well as his initial struggles against righties (.236/.277/.350). This is an up-and-coming youngster with a bright future, but he probably needs a little polish before developing into an All-Star.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2.8,"playerRater15DAY":3.7,"positionRank":10}
