He's manning left and leading off against right-hander Brandon Cumpton. It seems very likely that MLB will uphold the suspension, though it's uncertain when exactly the appeal process will be completed.","date":"Sat Jun 15"},"fullName":"Skip Schumaker","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Scooped up by the Dodgers on the cheap in December, Schumaker should serve as a utilityman/pinch hitter for his new team, with less of a promise of regular at-bats at second base than he had in St. Louis. While it's possible that he could steal the occasional start against right-handers from Mark Ellis, Ellis' superior defensive ability should keep that to a minimum. Schumaker's appeal in fantasy is his ability to hit righties, and only righties -- he has .305/.350/.403 career rates against them, but just .205/.276/.245 against lefties -- but that's mostly of use in deep leagues, primarily NL-only, that afford you daily transactions.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.2,"playerRater15DAY":-1.5,"positionRank":25}
