He's already given up 13 long balls this year after surrendering just 30 over the previous two seasons.","date":"Thu May 16"},"fullName":"Matt Cain","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Sometimes, converting batted balls put into the field of play -- meaning non-strikeouts, walks or home runs -- into outs is a skill. Cain is the only pitcher in baseball to have finished among the 10 best in the game in BABIP allowed in each of the past four seasons, his .263 number in the category during that span the lowest among pitchers with at least 100 starts. He is not a \"lucky\" pitcher, but rather a consistent ace who might garner more headlines if his Giants could have only won him more games. To that point about consistency, among the pitchers who made 15 or more starts last season, Cain never had an individual Game Score lower than 38, a feat that nobody else in the game can claim, and his 60.6 average Game Score was fifth-best among qualified starters. Maybe the Giants will be unable to push his win total into the 20s, putting him into serious Cy Young consideration. But even if they don't, isn't there something to be said for a pitcher with the skills to lead your squad and do it without the worry of ever having to move him to your bench to avoid the most treacherous matchups?","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2.7,"playerRater15DAY":5.4,"positionRank":66}
