The left-handed veteran had something of an up-and-down season after missing nearly two months with a blood clot in his armpit, and though he is certainly a capable big-league pitcher, his value is probably highest as a stream candidate or AL-only option as far as fantasy leagues are concerned for 2014.","date":"Sun Sep 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":-0.6,"playerRater15DAY":2.9,"positionRank":110}
