This could be a sign that he is getting closer to a rehab assignment as fielding is the last major hurdle for Utley.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Chase Utley","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Injuries have begun to take their toll on this former No. 1 fantasy second baseman. Utley has now missed 106 games combined the past two seasons, and in those, he has hit for significantly less power and experienced a bump in his ground-ball rate. Combine his 2010-11 numbers and scale them to 162 games and Utley would've been a .267 hitter with 21 home runs and .168 isolated power, numbers that would help him make the top 10 at second, but not top five, a more appropriate estimation of his value. Knee and hip injuries are primarily responsible and make it unlikely he'll recapture his power of 2005 to '09, when he hit 30-plus homers three times, and that he's now 33 years old suggests he's on the clear downslope of his career. Batting in the heart of the Phillies' order ensures Utley enough counting-numbers (runs, RBIs) potential to keep him among the better choices at his position, but understand that he comes with more risk than he did a few years back.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"}}
