He had better fortune Thursday when the Tigers came from behind against the Twins, scoring the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Papa Grande has been relatively unhittable so far this year, allowing just one run and two hits in 11 innings.","date":"Thu May 23"},"fullName":"Jose Valverde","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After converting all 49 save chances in 2011, Valverde wasted no time ending the streak as he blew the save on Opening Day last season. For the season, he ended 35-of-40 which isn't bad, but the Tigers still opted not to bring him back this season. If Valverde wants to close again, he'll need to improve upon his 6.3 K/9 from last season. Presently still looking for a team, Valverde is worth a reserve pick in the event someone signs him to work the ninth inning.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":3.7,"playerRater15DAY":2.7,"positionRank":42}
