He has only four hits in 34 at-bats this year, and they've all been for extra bases -- the three homers and a double. With just six strikeouts and an insanely low .037 BABIP, Hairston seems likely to rebound to a more reasonable batting average eventually, though his playing time has been sparse.","date":"Thu May 2"},"fullName":"Scott Hairston","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Hairston is a lefty-killing slugger with underrated pop, a player who is most appreciated in leagues that afford daily transactions. A lifetime .276/.325/.500 hitter against left-handers, he signed with the Cubs to serve as the right-handed part of a right field platoon with Nate Schierholtz, and perhaps with center fielder David DeJesus as well. Managed well, Hairston can be a bargain for NL-only owners, though when pressed into regular duty, his .229/.288/.416 career rates against right-handers would depress his batting average/on-base percentage contributions.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.9,"playerRater15DAY":-4,"positionRank":131}
