In five starts in 2013, Vargas has yet to notch a win, despite settling into a comfort zone over the past two starts, which include a 3.00 ERA and 9:5 K:BB ratio in 15 total innings. He'll next take the mound Friday versus Baltimore, against whom he carries a 2.03 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 40 career frames.","date":"Mon Apr 29"},"fullName":"Jason Vargas","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After a couple of seasons with a HR/FB well below league average, Vargas saw that mark spike above league average last season, with the majority of damage being done, not surprisingly, on the road. On the other hand, his BABIP was much lower than league average, even for a fly-ball pitcher. These two balanced, with the result appearing as a normal season. Now in Anaheim, Vargas will again have the benefit of a cavernous venue to limit the long ball at home, but he'll still surrender a fair amount on the road; assuming there is a BABIP correction, his ERA will suffer.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-3,"playerRater15DAY":0,"positionRank":174}
