His breakthrough was primarily fueled by the development of a two-seam fastball; with it he was able to generate a 54.2 percent ground ball rate, 14th among qualified starters, and coupled with the spacious outfields at Petco Park many of his mistakes were reeled in for long fly ball outs. Stauffer might never be the staff ace the Padres initially envisioned, as he lacks an overpowering, high-strikeout arsenal, rather relying on command and pitching down in the zone. The sum total is a pitcher better used as a matchups option -- pick out those Petco starts -- than as a ride-him-every-time type, but NL-only owners shouldn't be upset with his competitive ratios as a mid-to-late rounder.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-2.6,"playerRater15DAY":-2.5,"positionRank":172}
