He'll look to continue his little turn around Sunday against the Diamondbacks.","date":"Tue Apr 30"},"fullName":"Edinson Volquez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The move from hitting-friendly Great American Ball Park to pitching-friendly Petco Park agreed with Volquez, as a sharp decrease in homers led to a drop in ERA from 5.71 in '11 to 4.14 last season. His other peripherals were basically the same. Unfortunately, Petco Park is going to be a bit more hitter-friendly this season, with fences that are both closer and shorter. Volquez's walk rate is well-above league average, so he stands to be hurt more than others with the change. Until we have a better idea about how the park will play, Volquez is best stashed on reserve. His walk rate makes him a very risky start on the road.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.2,"playerRater15DAY":1.9,"positionRank":165}
