Gary A. Vasquez/US PresswireCasey BlakeOne of the many mantras of the 2011 preseason has been the Dodgers' determination to get more rest this year for Casey Blake, who turned 37 in August.That made me curious as to whether Blake (whom Tony Jackson wrote about Thursday for ESPNLosAngeles.com) actually performed better when rested last year. And the short answer is, he didn't.I went through the 2010 game logs, and here's how Blake performed.Total: 146 games, 571 plate appearances, .320 OBP, .407 slugging percentage, .727 OPS.No days off: 110 games, 425 plate appearances, .332 OBP, .397 slugging, .729 OPS.One day off: 22 games, 91 plate appearances, .252 OBP, .342 slugging, .594 OPSTwo or more days off: 11 games, 47 plate appearances, .319 OBP, .410 slugging, .729 OPSOne or more
Rest didn't help Casey Blake much in 2010
