Speaking of health, the 27-year old outfielder missed about six weeks in the first half with a sore oblique, then nearly another three weeks after being hit in the face by a fastball in late July. Haniger parlayed an above average hard-hit rate into a .338 BABIP and 16 percent HR/FB, fueling an OPS of .843. Curiously, after drawing free passes at a 13 percent clip through June, Haniger walked at a 3 percent pace the rest of the season. This wasn't just about getting hit in the face either, as his walk rate was four percent in July prior to the injury. Assuming Haniger regains the discipline exhibited in the first half, he has a chance at hitting in a productive spot in a potentially strong lineup. Right field is his, assuming Haniger is healthy. There's little buzz, making him a potential profit center."},"mostRecentNews":{"date":"Sun Sep 30","news":"Haniger is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.","spin":"Haniger started 71 of the last 72 games and has emerged as one of the Mariners' top players this season.
