Something Curious about our friend Ryan Doumit

PG is reporting the following (read the bold part): Ryan Doumit finished with a .292 average in 35 games for Mazatlan of the Mexican Pacific League. He had six home runs and 16 RBIs, plus a .390 on-base percentage that was aided greatly by 20 walks. Perhaps most intriguing: He spent the final 11 games in right field.

Blue Jays dangling Rios

If the Blue Jays are looking for pitching, I say, throw a Malholm and/or Marte their way, and pick up Alex Rios to play RF.

Most recently from Rotoworld...

The New York Daily News says that the Yankees, Braves and Pirates haven't discussed a three-team Mike Gonzalez deal at all during the last few days

That's what we were hearing Friday before multiple reports Saturday made it sound like a deal wasn't far away. The Daily News says there might be more talks next week. However, if something does happen, it could end up being a two-team deal, with Gonzalez going to the Yankees and Melky Cabrera being surrendered in return. Instead of going to Pittsburgh, Adam LaRoche may yet go to Baltimore for Brian Roberts, according to the AP.
