Nick Green will draw the start at third base Thursday.","date":"Thu May 16"},"fullName":"Placido Polanco","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Let's address the positives first with Polanco: He's due $2.75 million, making him one of the higher-paid Marlins, he stands little competition for at-bats at third base, and he's adept at making contact, with his 7.6 percent strikeout rate last season being the fourth-lowest among players with at least 300 trips to the plate. Now the negatives: He's 37 years old, is in a six-year pattern of declining OPS and three-year pattern of declining batting average and on-base percentage and is effectively a temporary fix for a rebuilding team. The Marlins lack any prospect polished enough to threaten Polanco's at-bats, but any return of the back problems that plagued him last year might do that just as effectively. He's worth taking to fill your NL-only corner infield spot, but at best he might be close to his 2010-11 self, which isn't saying much.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.3,"playerRater15DAY":-2.3,"positionRank":38}
