If he stays healthy, he should rank among the National League leaders in runs scored, and may even be considered the favorite to top that category.","date":"Sat Apr 27"},"fullName":"Shin-Soo Choo","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Choo bounced back from a down 2011 campaign, which was marred by injuries and dealing with a DUI. Many expect the move to Cincinnati will help Choo regain some lost power. The problem is that Choo's old digs, Progressive Field, increase left-handed power at a rate equal to the Great American Ball Park. In addition, Choo's home runs were depressed last season as a result of a big drop in fly ball rate; his HR/FB was normal. Choo will always carry some risk, as his strikeout rate is high and he thus relies on a high BABIP to maintain his batting average. When healthy, though, Choo hits enough line drives to support an elevated BABIP. Choo's power/speed combo is enticing. Just temper expectations despite a perceived friendlier hitting venue.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":6,"playerRater15DAY":3.2,"positionRank":16}
