During this streak, Perez is batting .359 (14-for-39) with one home run, 10 RBI and nine runs scored, while pushing his average up to .319 for the season.","date":"Sat Jun 15"},"fullName":"Salvador Perez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"You can't ask for a swifter and more successful comeback from knee surgery than the one Perez enjoyed in 2012. Initially projected to miss three months following the March operation, he returned right on schedule, hit in 11 straight games to begin his season, and made the Royals pleased they inked him to a five-year, $7 million deal in the preseason by finishing with a .301 batting average and 11 home runs. Perez's contact ability is unfathomable; he not only ranked in the top 10 among players with at least 300 plate appearances in both his contact and swing-and-miss rates, but he batted .337 on pitches outside the strike zone, second-best in baseball, underscoring his skill as a bad-ball hitter. Despite the lack of a track record, he is one of the safest batting-average investments in the game, and his power, which plays to all fields, is on the rise. If he can stay healthy, he might make a run at the top five fantasy catchers in any format (if not higher).","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2.1,"playerRater15DAY":5.6,"positionRank":16}
