Just a little too late for fantasy owners as A.J. Pierzynski is back early next week which puts Soto back on the bench. He's worth holding onto through the weekend, but once he returns to his reserve role, his value will be minimal.","date":"Sat May 18"},"fullName":"Geovany Soto","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Despite hitting line drives at a rate better than league average in 2012, Soto sported a lowly .222 BABIP. In what can only be termed a bizarre anomaly, Soto's component BABIP on all types of batted balls (fly balls, grounders and line drives hit soft, medium and hard) were all below league average. The result of Soto's 2012 woes have relegated him to backup duty, though there is a good chance he plays a bit more than some backups as Texas may play A.J. Pierzynski a bit at designated hitter. In AL-only formats, Soto is an option if you prefer the cheap route as his average is likely to rebound a bit and he still has some power.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-1.2,"playerRater15DAY":0.4,"positionRank":41}
