Newsbreakers
September 23, 2009
James Loney went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Wednesday, as the Dodgers lost 5-4 in Washington D.C.
Our View:
With just ten games remaining for the Dodgers in 2009, Loney needs to drive in a run a game to reach 100 RBI on the season.
September 19, 2009
James Loney led the offensive charge for the Dodgers on Saturday. He went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBI a 12-1 blowout of the Giants.
Our View:
Loney only has 13 homers on the season, but he's still been extremely productive. He has 87 RBI, and with 12 already this month, he's just three away from his career high.
September 12, 2009
James Loney went 2-for-4 with his 12th home run on Saturday, as Los Angeles routed the Giants 9-1 in San Francisco.
Our View:
With 85 RBI, Loney is now just five off the career-high he established last season.
August 17, 2009
James Loney went 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI in tonight's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals at Dodger Stadium. He also swiped a base.
Our View:
Loney is only hitting .227 over 53 at-bats this month, after holding a solid .311 average in July. Hopefully he will start to swing the bat well again down the stretch for fantasy owners.
August 4, 2009
James Loney went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in tonight's 6-5 loss to the Brewers at Dodger Stadium. He hit a single and a double.
Our View:
Loney has seven hits and five RBI over three games so far in August, and raised his season average to .293. He now currently leads the Dodgers with 68 RBI as well.
July 30, 2009
James Loney went 4-for-7 with an RBI on Tuesday, but he couldn't will the Dodgers to overcome the Cardinals, who won 3-2 in 15 innings in St. Louis.
Our View:
The RBI was vintage Loney, aka not a home run. His last 11 runs driven in all have come via methods besides homering.
July 26, 2009
James Loney went 3-for-5 with three RBI on Sunday as the Dodgers tried to come back from an early 8-0 deficit, but they fell just short, losing 8-6 to the Marlins at home.
Our View:
Loney drove in his runs in his usual fashion, not via the home run, and now has 62 on the season. He's a good candidate to post his first 100 RBI campaign in 2009.
July 22, 2009
James Loney went 3-for-4 with three runs and two RBI on Tuesday, helping the Dodgers to a 12-3 rout over the Reds.
Our View:
It was only Loney's second multi-RBI game of the month. He produces a decent amount of offense, but not the amount you would usually want from a first baseman.
June 23, 2009
James Loney homered for the third time in four games on Tuesday after hitting only two in his first 68 games of the season.
Our View:
Loney was due for a power correction soon, and should finish the season with somewhere around 13-15 home runs.
June 4, 2009
James Loney hit third in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Arizona as Orlando Hudson got the night off. He came through as he scored the games only run. He went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk.
Our View:
Hudson is pretty beat up right now, meaning there could be some more appearances for Loney in the three-hole. He has been a strong run producer this season, as evidenced by his 41 RBI.
June 3, 2009
James Loney carried the Dodgers in Tuesday's 6-5 win over Arizona at home, as he went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI.
Our View:
Loney has five RBI over his last three games. Loney is only hitting .284, but leads the Dodgers with 41 RBI.
May 29, 2009
James Loney struck out four times in four at-bats on in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs.
Our View:
Loney wore the collar in this one, be he had been very good prior to getting worked over by Ted Lilly on Friday. The four strikeout performance snapped an 11-game hitting streak for the Dodger first baseman that saw his average climb from .264 to .298.
May 27, 2009
James Loney was 2-for-5 and drove in four runs in the Dodgers' 8-6 win over the Rockies.
Our View:
Loney has his average up to .293 and he's now driven in 36. He won't give you what most first baseman will in the power department, but he's a fine contributor in other categories.
May 13, 2009
It took 130 at-bats, but James Loney finally hit his first home run on Wednesday. The Dodger first baseman was 3-for-5 with four RBI in a 9-2 win over the Philles.
Our View:
Loney is off to a sluggish start this season hitting just .277, but he has driven in 25 runners despite his lack of power. Still, there are better first base options out there.
April 26, 2009
James Loney was 3-for-5 with three runs driven in on Sunday in a losing effort as the Dodgers got blasted by the Rockies 10-4.
Our View:
Loney's three hit day boosted his average to .319 and he's now driven in 14 on the season, but the Dodger first baseman has yet to hit a ball out of the park. Loney is an asset to LA, but is a player with little power at a stacked fantasy position. His value is suspect in mixed leagues as long as he's manning first base.
April 17, 2009
Mark Loretta will start at first base on Friday against the Rockies and southpaw Jorge De La Rosa, the Los Angeles Daily News reports. James Loney is on the bench.
Our View:
Loney is only 1-for-8 against southpaws this season, but it's still a little frustrating to see him on the bench tonight. He is 5-for-9 against De La Rosa in his career.
April 6, 2009
James Loney was 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 4-1 win over Jake Peavy and the Padres. He hit sixth for the Dodgers.
Our View:
Loney won't blow you away with power numbers, but he is a reliable hitter with a good batting eye and outstanding glove. He is an average fantasy first baseman, but he holds more upside than most of the other players in his tier.
April 5, 2009
James Loney was 2-for-2 with a double and drove in the Dodgers' lone run in the Cactus League finale on Sunday against the Giants.
Our View:
Loney is a good contact hitter and run producer, but lacks the big pop that fantasy owners are looking for out of their first baseman. Unfortunately his position handcuffs him. Were he a second baseman he'd be fantasy gold. Now he'll have to settle for pyrite.
March 10, 2009
James Loney went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run scored Tuesday against Arizona.
Our View:
Loney put up solid stats a season ago (.289, 13, 90), but he lacks the elite numbers that characterize the host of top-notch first basemen across the NL (Pujols, Berkman, Howard).
