The Dodgers actually hit well for the first time in a month. The standout player this week was Rafael Furcal who contributed 7.77 runs above average, smashing the previous record by over two runs. Furcal entered the week as the Dodgers least productive hitter, and in one week managed to become qualified as "above average".
Another surprise entrant into the positive category is Wilson Betemit, despite the fact that he was only hitting .194 heading into yesterdays game. Amazing what a few walks and home runs will do for you.
All in all, this was probably the best week offensively for the Dodgers this season.
