He has pitched extremely well since taking over the closers' role for the Yankees, and could conceivably hold down the job even when David Robertson comes off the disabled list.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Rafael Soriano","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Signed to a bloated three-year, $35 million contract to serve as Mariano Rivera's primary setup man -- and, if Rivera ever decides to retire, his eventual replacement -- Soriano got off to a rough start in pinstripes before succumbing to an elbow injury in May. Upon his return in July, he was eased back into setup duty, splitting the chores with David Robertson. But he did look closer to his normal self: 3.33 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 9.62 strikeouts per nine innings ratio in his final 26 appearances. A noticeable platoon split -- lefties handle him better than righties -- and propensity for fly balls might always put Soriano at greater risk at Yankee Stadium than your typical ratio helper, but he's still in a group that can be of help in AL-only formats.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":1.3,"playerRater15DAY":2,"positionRank":46}
