Hardy","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"If you like targeting players coming off a down season but who played a little better than the stats might indicate, Hardy is your man. Coming off a 2011 season that featured a career-high HR/FB and fly ball percentage, Hardy's power was sure to regress. Expect a slight bounce-back this season as the regression reverses. Hardy's average is also a candidate to bounce back because his contact rate was better than the previous season. His .238 average was the result of a drop in power (homers are hits, too) along with a lower-than-usual BABIP, which should also improve. Just don't count on another full season, since 2012 was the first year Hardy topped 150 games since 2007.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3.6,"playerRater15DAY":-0.6,"positionRank":8}
