He was having a rather nondescript season before Tuesday, but now owns a .297/.338/.473 batting line and leads the Angels with 14 RBI.","date":"Wed Apr 24"},"fullName":"Howie Kendrick","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Kendrick sported the third-highest ground ball percentage in the majors last season, which was a big reason his homers fell from 18 in 2011 to eight. Truth be told, 2011 is the outlier, with low-double-digit bombs being Kendrick's reasonable expectation. Add in low-teens steals with a consistently solid batting average, and Kendrick can hold down the fort in the middle without hurting your squad anywhere. The trade-off for this is limited upside, although 2011's power outburst showed Kendrick has the ability to run into a few more homers. The days of expecting Kendrick to win the batting title are long gone, but he can still help you to a fantasy title with across-the-board production.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":4.5,"playerRater15DAY":4.7,"positionRank":8}
