Utley has been out nearly a month, but he likely won't need more than two or three minor league games before returning to the big club.","date":"Wed Jun 19"},"fullName":"Chase Utley","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Now 34 years old, Utley's downward career slope has manifested itself in two specific aspects: First, his health. He has had disabled list stints that have cost him at least 40 games in each of the past three seasons, sitting out 185 of 486 contests during that three-year span. Second, he's back to struggling against left-handed pitching, sporting .215/.324/.355 rates against lefties in 2012. Forgive Utley those -- and they're understandable if you're familiar with age curves -- and he has actually done a brilliant job remaining a productive batsman and baserunner. Consider this: He had an 82 percent career contact rate before his 30th birthday but 85 percent since. And he has been successful on 95 percent of his stolen-base chances while attempting them on 9 percent of his opportunities since turning 30, compared to 85 percent and 5 percent, respectively, before his 30th birthday. Utley can still contribute to your fantasy team in terms of homers, steals, RBIs and runs, at least when he's healthy. Don't forget about him, but don't forget to draft a contingency plan.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":-4,"positionRank":13}
