1908 Update

The Doves made a significant advance in 2008, going 81-73, finishing 4th, 6 GB. They were 1st in the NL in runs scored, batting average and stolen bases. However they were 5th in runs allowed, and hampered by their bullpen, which was 7th in ERA at 2.74. Their starting staff ERA was 2.42, good for 5th place.
The Doves were led by:
• Otis Clymer, 32, RF who led the NL in SBs: 106 (new NL record), was 2nd in hits: 171 and runs: 82
• Charlie Pick, 27, 3B who tied for 2nd in the NL in RBIs: 70, was 3rd in hits: 166, tied for 4th in runs: 71 and 5th in SBs: 62
• Gus Williams and Max Carey who finished 3rd and 4th respectively in the NL in SBs with 77 & 68
• Preacher Roe, 22, who tied for 1st in the NL in shutouts: 7, and went 21-13, 2.15
• Rookie Bob Turley, 20, who came through at 20-18, 2.06
The OF evolved into a solid combo of Carey in LF, Bates in CF and Williams in RF. The team struggled at the SS position. Ray Blades, brought over in an off-season trade, initially helped but never recovered from nagging injuries and veteran Roxey Roach hit .175 for the year.

Overall, though, there are less holes to fill and a solid base going forward if they can add a bit of power, shore up the pitching staff and get more consistent play at shortstop.
