After missing most of spring training and the first eight weeks of the regular season with a broken collarbone, some rust is to be expected from a guy who is not an everyday player. Mathis will continue to see a start or two per week behind regular catcher Rob Brantly, but don't hold your breath for an offensive breakout from the career .196/.253/.311 hitter.","date":"Wed May 29"},"fullName":"Jeff Mathis","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"One of the worst hitters in all of baseball -- his .570 career major league OPS is worst in baseball among players with at least 1,000 plate appearances since his debut year of 2005 -- Mathis is a big league backup based solely on his defensive contributions. Considering those rarely matter in fantasy, he's a no-go in all formats, despite the fact that he'll probably get another 250 plate appearances behind Rob Brantly in Miami. Don't make the mistake of expecting more is coming; Mathis begins 2013 at age 30 and has never topped .218/.288/.393 in any of the triple-slash categories in a single year.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-4.4,"playerRater15DAY":-3.6,"positionRank":85}
