Fantasy Analysis
Ruiz has been rolling all season long, and he is showing no signs of slowing down, with a .452 batting average over the course of the last 10 games, with six RBI. He is playing at an impressive level right now, and should be active in all formats. (Updated 05/25/2012).

Over the last five years, Carlos Ruiz has established himself as the most anonymous player in the Phillies' star-studded lineup, mostly providing the team with good defense during his four or five starts per week. But over the last couple years, he has become something of an asset to Head-to-Head owners, finishing surprisingly high in the catcher rankings because of an above-average walk rate. If he got as many plate appearances as the average catcher, he might even rank among the top 12 options at the position, but again, the Phillies give him only four or five starts per week. He did have a career-high 410 at-bats last year, which is a step in the right direction, but at age 33, his routine isn't going to change too much. If you play in deeper Rotisserie leagues, Ruiz is an under-the-radar option to target in the late rounds. His lack of pop makes him not quite as valuable in Rotisserie formats, though.
