He could have some value in deeper leagues going forward, but needs to throw more strikes if he is going to get deeper into games (he needed 96 pitches, only 51 of which were strikes, to get through five innings Friday night).","date":"Fri May 25"},"fullName":"Alex Cobb","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Cobb often gets lost in the shuffle of young Rays pitchers, as he's not regarded one of their top prospects and relies more on location and generating a healthy number of ground balls rather than overpowering hitters to succeed. He made nine starts for the big club before being lost for the season due a hand injury, and might have to settle for a middle relief role this spring. Cobb could be of use in AL-only formats if he's called upon again to start, but as a reliever he'll be unlikely to turn in ratios low enough to be of help.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Feb 22"},"playerRater30DAY":0.7,"playerRater15DAY":2.2,"positionRank":115}
