Player Notes
June 14, 2008
The Dodgers have moved Blake DeWitt up to second in the order on Saturday, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.. The third baseman is hitting only .189 (7-for-37) in June, and he has seen only three at-bats this season above the sixth spot in the order.

Our View:This is likely a temporary move, and we're not sure why Andre Ethier or Matt Kemp isn't in that slot. Maybe Joe Torre is just trying to show a little faith in the rookie.
June 12, 2008
Blake DeWitt went 0-for-3 on Thursday and now has just seven hits in his last 37 AB (.189) to drop his average to .281, this after a huge month of May that earned him Rookie of the Month honors.

Our View:With Andy LaRoche with the big league club, DeWitt had better start hitting or he could find himself losing a few at-bats in the short-term and a lot in the long-term when Nomar Garciaparra returns.
June 11, 2008
MLB.com reports that Blake DeWitt is the May NL Rookie of the Month. The award comes after DeWitt hit .322 in May with five homers and 18 RBIs. Dodgers manager Joe Torre has referred to DeWitt as "a godsend" when reflecting on how much DeWitt has done to solve the dilemma at third base.

Our View:DeWitt may see less at-bats in June do to the call up of Andy LaRoche and recovery of Nomar Garciaparra. He may be a good sell-high candidate. He was selected over NL nominees Joey Votto of Cincinnati, Geovany Soto of the Cubs and Manny Acosta of the Braves.

Blake DeWitt has been fielding ground balls at second base prior to games, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Our View:The Dodgers have a major logjam around their infield, and they are trying to find a spot for Andy LaRoche, who is in the minors. We don't believe the club is ready to ditch Jeff Kent, but it's possible they are angling for a long-term move for DeWitt.
June 1, 2008
Blake DeWitt went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday. The rookie closed out May with a .322 average, five homers, 18 RBI, and 14 runs over 26 games.

Our View:DeWitt's numbers don't look like much at one of fantasy baseball's best positions (third base), but the rookie has delivered way more than the Dodgers expected. Fantasy owners in keeper leagues should be mildly excited, especially if they picked him very late in their drafts.
