He's now allowed just four earned runs in three starts this month, and has lowered his ERA to 3.25. He'll look to continue his dominance in May when he takes on the Cubs next week.","date":"Wed May 15"},"fullName":"Wandy Rodriguez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Perhaps the most difficult element of a pitcher's skill set to discern is whether a late-career drop in strikeouts is real. After sporting a K/9 of 8.2 in '10 and 7.8 in '11, Rodriguez' rate plummeted to 6.1 in '12. On the plus side is that his fastball velocity was consistent with previous seasons and he threw more first-pitch strikes. However, PitchFX data suggests that his curve and change were less effective. The safe play is to expect an improvement in strikeout rate, but not to the levels of '07 - '11, when Rodriguez averaged a K/9 of 8.2. While not a sexy choice, Rodriguez still helps stabilize the back end of a fantasy rotation.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3,"playerRater15DAY":4.3,"positionRank":39}
