He finished the day 2-for-5 with two runs scored.","spin":"Oakland returned to its winning ways with Cespedes in the fold. Namely, his two-run shot with one out in the bottom of the ninth forced extra innings, where the Athletics won in walkoff fashion. On the season, Cespedes has 10 total hits, four of them long balls, to match his slugging percentage from a season ago. It's only a matter of time before his .222 average experiences a similar boost, but in any case, he seems to hold a flare for the dramatic, a bonus for his fantasy relevance.","date":"Mon Apr 29"},"fullName":"Yoenis Cespedes","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Many questioned the Athletics' four-year, $36 million investment in Cespedes last February, but his rookie campaign couldn't be quantified as anything other than a complete success. Despite missing 33 games with hand, wrist and hamstring injuries, he managed a No. 56 ranking on our Player Rater, and perhaps more importantly became one of three players to manage at least a .300 batting average with double-digit homers and steals after the All-Star break, joining Ryan Braun and Mike Trout. Cespedes' max-effort swing might make him susceptible to further aches and pains, but it also hints at greater power potential, and he seemed to improve as a base runner with experience, stealing 12 of his 16 bases after July 1. He also cut down on his swing-and-miss rate, which dropped from 32 percent before the All-Star break to 25 percent after, meaning he might have growth potential in 2013. Draft him at his 2012 earnings, leaving some profit potential.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2.3,"playerRater15DAY":1,"positionRank":57}
