Pestano has a significant weakness: He lacks an \"out\" pitch to use versus left-handed hitters, who managed .280/.350/.462 rates and struck out in only 13.6 percent of their plate appearances against him. Right-handers, meanwhile, couldn't touch him; he had .115/.218/.192 rates and a 47.6 percent K rate against them. Pestano could always develop such a pitch to elevate himself into the closer mix, but unless there are signals it's happening during the spring, he's a dangerous pick as anything more than an AL-only late-rounder. Remember, that's a difficult thing to do quickly.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":2,"playerRater15DAY":0.9,"positionRank":38}
