A player who used to amass 30-homer, 30-steal seasons has failed to record a 20/20 season over the past two seasons despite staying relatively healthy. He is only 31-years-old, so this dramatic drop off is a bit unexpected. It would be easy to call him a buy-low candidate for next season, but there is a risk that this may be the Kinsler to expect going forward.","date":"Wed Sep 25"},"fullName":"Ian Kinsler","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"My, how quickly a player sheds the injury-prone label. After making two trips to the DL in 2010 alone while averaging 124 games played per year from 2006-10, Kinsler amassed the most plate appearances in baseball the past two seasons combined, sitting out only 12 games total in 2011-12. This afforded him the opportunity to total 51 home runs and 51 stolen bases in those two years, making him the only second baseman and one of only three players overall to amass at least 50 of each. With health no longer a valid criticism, Kinsler's only weakness is batting average, odd considering he had a remarkably low strikeout rate (11.4 percent) and swing-and-miss rate (11.8 percent) in those two seasons. No matter -- it's that contact ability that makes him one of the most attractive selections in points-based leagues. Kinsler also makes a compelling case to be picked in the first three rounds in rotisserie, too, considering his skills relative to his second-base brethren.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":5.5,"playerRater15DAY":9.2,"positionRank":6}
