Having pushed to reach my filing quota by
the end of the fiscal year, I can now
proudly celebrate the sixth anniversary of Dodger Thoughts. Six! Thanks to everyone for your support - I really mean it.
Let’s examine the true all-stars for the first
half of the season. This week’s edition of Ruts
and Royalty takes a slight detour. Instead of seeing who’s hot and who’s not, I will break down my top 5 players from each fantasy position. Here are the best of the best in the catcher’s ranks: 1) Ryan Doumit: Doumit has been hands down the best catcher in fantasy leagues this season. ...

Batting Average has come a long way in
30 years. In the early 80's it was an
aberration for catchers or second basemen to hit .300. Lately, it's an aberration for them not too. FBHOF has the story of batting averages of the Fantasy era and would you be surprised to learn that middle infielders hold the all time record for highest combined batting average? Probably not.
The Phillies swept the Braves in Atlanta once
again, carried by starter Cole Hamels, who went eight
and two-thirds innings, struck out seven and only allowed one run courtesy a ninth-inning, two-out RBI double from Brian McCann. He was one out away from a complete game shut-out, and it was obvious that manager Charlie Manuel was going to let Hamels attempt to get it. But was it a good decision?
On Monday night, first year Dodger pitcher Hiroki
Kuroda needed only 91 pitches to complete a shutout
of Chipper Jones, Mark Teixeira, Brian McCann and the Atlanta Braves. In fact, he came 6 outs away from a perfect game until Mark Teixeira doubled to lead off the 8th inning ( a solid hit by the way).
