Four batters and two walks (one intentional) later, Rodney served up a two-run single to Ichiro Suzuki and gave the Yankees a 4-2 lead. It was his first hiccup in his last four appearances and while the Rays are struggling and not giving him much in the way of save opportunities, he still remains a top option in the ninth for fantasy purposes.","date":"Wed Apr 24"},"fullName":"Fernando Rodney","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"How does a guy go from walking nearly eight batters per nine innings to being a Cy Young candidate at closer? You move him over a little on the rubber, tweak his motion and alter his repertoire so he throws a few more two-seam fastballs as well as more changeups. The result for Rodney was one of the biggest surprises of the fantasy season. But can he repeat? First off, regardless of anything else, his hit and home run rates were rather lucky, so some regression is expected in those areas. Ultimately, the key will be now much of his 1.81 BB/9 Rodney retains. Some giveback should be anticipated, but even so, Rodney deserves to be lumped in with the second tier of closers. Cutting your BB/9 from 7.88 to 1.81 is not done by accident, he's a different pitcher.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":0.4,"playerRater15DAY":1.1,"positionRank":73}
