Most of his save situations have come with only a one run lead, and yet Broxton has been successful in closing the door on opposing teams. His ERA on the season now stands at 2.04 to go along with 11 strikeouts and five walks.","date":"Sat May 26"},"fullName":"Jonathan Broxton","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Signed by the Royals this winter, Broxton provides the team an experienced fallback now that Joakim Soria is out for the year following Tommy John surgery. When he's \"on,\" Broxton can be as unhittable as any short reliever in the game; from 2009 to 2011, opposing hitters batted .330/.426/.440 against his fastball when it was clocked at 95 mph or slower, but .200/.298/.276 when it was clocked at 96 mph or faster. The explanation for his 2011 (and 2010 second-half) struggles are simple: His pitches lacked their usual zip, perhaps a result of the elbow injury that cost him the final five months of last season. It's for that reason that Broxton needs to prove his health, and the return of his high-90s fastball, before fantasy owners can call him a truly \"safe\" source of saves. Experience might grant him the ninth inning initially, getting him on the radar even in mixed formats, but understand this is a high-risk proposition.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Mar 23"},"playerRater30DAY":3.1,"playerRater15DAY":0.4,"positionRank":28}
