A bone spur in his elbow cut his 2012 short, but Adams had some initial success in his brief big league trial last year. How much of an impact he makes this season will depend on the health of Allen Craig, who has taken over first base in St. Louis. Even if Adams doesn't make the team this spring, he should work his way into enough at-bats to be a useful reserve corner infielder in NL-only leagues; if an injury opens things up, though, Adams could be starter-worthy in that format.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-4,"playerRater15DAY":-3.3,"positionRank":35}
