The second baseman currently holds a .312 average with three home runs and nine steals on the season.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Jose Altuve","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Altuve is the kind of young second baseman you'd love to pick for a breakout, but upon closer examination, he's got some warts. Though he was a .327 career minor league hitter who averaged 50 stolen bases per 162 games played, he demonstrated the kind of swing-at-everything approach that could threaten his big league batting average and make him prone to extended slumps. Among players with 200-plus plate appearances, he swung the fourth-most often (56.6 percent) and chased pitches out of the strike zone 10th-most often (41.7 percent), those rates even higher against off-speed stuff. Right-handed pitchers might exploit that; there's a very real chance that Altuve will be more of a fantasy-matchups candidate than a true mixed-league asset. But considering his upside in the steals category, he's worth a shot as a middle infielder.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":3.5,"playerRater15DAY":2.7,"positionRank":5}
