Ronny's Start at Indy

Has anybody noticed what Ronny Paulino is doing at Indy?  In three games he's gone 9 for 13 with 4 doubles and 2 homers.  His OPS is over 2!  Only three games, but maybe the demotion has had some effect.  Maybe he's decided to put some effort into his game and when, and if he returns, he may be more like the player he was several years ago.  I gather the Buc pitchers like throwing to Chavez, but it would be nice to have two catchers who hit well.

Ronny needs a boss looking over his shoulder.

For whatever reason, the effort isn’t there unless his back’s against the wall.

With any luck, his little hot streak will make him at least marginally attractive to potential trade partners.

Agreed.

If, for some reason, I was demoted, I’d most assuredly work my ass off to prove to my bosses that they were wrong.

The big difference is that I would hafta take a pay cut.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- HST

Ronny's stats thru 10 games (9 at C, 1 at DH)

Ronny is still hitting well (.410/.465/.949), but has 3 passed balls, 1 error, and has thrown out 3 of 14 basestealers.
