Community Projection Review: Ronny Paulino
PLAYER POS. COMMUNITY ZiPS ACTUAL Ronny Paulino C .260/.319/.395 .263/.321/.366 .212/.217/.305 Shamefully, I didn't give the front office enough credit and assumed, going into Spring Training, that Paulino would be the starter despite his intensely frustrating 2007....
Pirates Uncomfortable Throwing to Paulino
The Post-Gazette: There is no sign that the lunatics are running the asylum, but it should not be dismissed that the Pirates' pitchers -- unwittingly, in most cases -- played a role in management's decision to keep Raul Chavez and demote Ronny Paulino. There had been a sense most of the...
Pirates Considering Sending Ronny Paulino to Minors
I'd do it if I were them: The Pirates are contemplating keeping catcher Raul Chavez on the roster once Ryan Doumit is ready to return this weekend, and part of those ongoing discussions is the possibility of optioning Ronny Paulino to the minors. Such a move, if it comes to pass, would...
Pirates 14, Cardinals 4
If last Wednesday's game was one of the worst of the season, tonight's had to be one of the best. Luis Rivas, for example, hit a grand slam and a triple. (The triple was actually more like a single that Rick Ankiel dove past, but whatever.) When something like that happens, you're really blowing...
Roundup: On Pearce and Paulino
-P- (UPDATE: Naturally, this bit was written before Paulino's explosion today. I think he's just trying to make me mad.) You know, I'm not saying Raul Chavez -- who made two starts in a row earlier this weekend -- should stick with the Pirates after Ryan Doumit returns, but is it crazy that it...
Pirates 8, Cardinals 4
I didn't mean to focus on the negative by failing to post a recap of last night's game. The sad truth was that I had to leave in the eighth inning, so I missed all the fun. It sounds like there would have been a lot to talk about, too, so I can understand why the game thread was so huge -- Marino...
Pirates Place Ryan Doumit on DL
Ryan Doumit has been placed on the DL with a broken thumb. Raul Chavez has been recalled to take his place on the roster. Obviously, this is bad for any number of reasons -- Doumit was a very productive hitter, and now we're going to have a couple weeks to get reacquainted with Ronny Paulino....
Pirates 5, Braves 0; Braves 8, Pirates 1
When you've got a doubleheader and you're starting Zach Duke and John Van Benschoten, you've got to be pretty happy winning just one. In the first game, the mirage Duke is conjuring just got bigger, as he pitched six scoreless innings despite five walks and only three strikeouts. For the season,...
Bucs Like Ryan Doumit at Catcher
The Post Gazette reports that the Pirates like Ryan Doumit's progress behind the plate. Me too, and I don't doubt that there are tons of people who have honest and well-founded opinions about the Doumit/Paulino controversy that has raged at various points during the past couple years, but I...
Doug Mientkiewicz Starts At Third
Regrettably, I have to leave before the end of the game and won't be back until tomorrow morning, but I wanted to post a few thoughts about tonight's game, or at least the seven innings I saw. -P- Doug Mientkiewicz started at third and looked perfectly good there, making an on-target throw in the...
