October 12, 2008 Blake DeWitt's lone hit in Sunday's Game 3 against the Phillies was a big one. He recorded a two-out, three-run triple in the first inning off of Phillies' starter Jamie Moyer.
Our View:He is hitting just .125 in the playoffs but he blew the game open on Sunday. He has been more impressive in the field than at the plate but he was the complete package in Game 3.
September 27, 2008 Blake DeWitt went 3-for-4 with two RBI and his ninth home run in the Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Giants.
Our View:DeWitt has had an up and down year at the plate and with Casey Blake entrenched at third base, he will probably not see many at-bats in the playoffs.
September 18, 2008 Blake DeWitt went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Pirates. His hit was a single, and Matt Kemp's double was the only extra base hit for the Dodgers.
Our View:DeWitt has registered an RBI in three of his last four games, and has nine over 16 games in September.
September 4, 2008 Angel Berroa and Blake DeWitt have teamed up in the middle of the infield in place of Nomar Garciaparra and Jeff Kent, and the result has been a 5-game winning streak for the Dodgers, according to MLB.com.
Our View:DeWitt returned from the minors and has been hitting like Kent with a .316 average, two home runs and four RBI over 19 AB, a nice switch after he went 47 games without a long ball. He figures to continue to play at second if he hits like that.
August 31, 2008 Blake DeWitt will be the second baseman for the Dodgers in the absence of Jeff Kent, who has been playing with torn cartilage in his knee, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
Our View:DeWitt had a very good beginning of the season before leveling off. Should he resume his previous level, he could be of real help to fantasy owners, but as it is should only be used in NL-only formats.
