Player Notes

July 4, 2009
Rafael Furcal went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in the Dodgers' 6-3 win over the Padres on Friday.

Our View:Furcal has yet to hit above .250 in any month this season. He's been a fantasy disaster and the things that owners want most from him (steals) have been tremendously lacking. Firday's swipe was just his fifth.

July 1, 2009
Rafael Furcal's pinch-hit single in the eighth inning was the difference on Wednesday, as the Dodgers blanked Colorado 1-0 a day after the Rockies did the same to them.

Our View:Furcal is having a disastrous 2009 season, batting just .240 through 275 at-bats, 44 points below his career average. Unless you are in a deep league with very limited options, it could be time to start exploring other options at shortstop.

June 7, 2009
Rafael Furcal hit seventh in Sunday night's loss against the Phillies. He was 1-for-3 with a walk.

Our View:Furcal has been dreadful this season and he lost his spot at the top of the order. He's hitting just .243 and his fantasy value continues to tank.

June 2, 2009
Rafael Furcal went 2-for-2 with an RBI in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.

Our View:Furcal did not start the game as skipper Joe Torre wanted to get him some rest while coming off a long overnight flight from Chicago. He entered the game as a pinch-hitter.

May 28, 2009
Rafael Furcal scored one of the Dodgers' runs and drove in the other on Thursday as Los Angeles defeated the Cubs 2-1. Furcal was 1-for-3 with a walk in the game.

Our View:Furcal has been a big disappointment so far this season, as he is hitting only .240 on the year. When he gets things figured out he can be a very good fantasy player, but until then you may want to find another option.
