He has hit a home run in each of his last two games and already has eight for the season. He looks to be well on pace to surpass his total of 12 home runs in 66 games last season.","date":"Mon May 20"},"fullName":"Travis Hafner","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"If you can deal with Hafner's extensive injury track record, he's an intriguing bargain bet for AL-only and deeper mixed owners, or those who play in leagues that utilize on-base and slugging percentage. Remember Raul Ibanez last year? Hafner's skills similarly fit Yankee Stadium's confines; he's a fly ball-hitting, pull-power slugger, except that unlike Ibanez, he knows how to draw a walk. This is the kind of player the Yankees should use well, starting him at designated hitter against right-handed pitching whenever he's healthy, something owners in leagues with daily transactions might want to keep in mind. Hafner has made seven trips to the DL in the past five seasons combined, so don't expect any miracles or the equivalent of Ibanez's 425 plate appearances in 2012. But as a late-round pick in larger leagues, he shouldn't be dismissed due to age/injury history.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":1.6,"playerRater15DAY":1.3,"positionRank":2}
