Doumit was a catcher, then a 1B/outfielder, now he's a catcher again. It's really hard to develop when you get yanked around like that. <BR/>I'm pretty confident he'll get better as he gets some games under his belt. He did only catch 28 games all of last year (the ERA when he caught was 5.47, and Paulino's was 4.61, though in the second half of the season Doumit's came down and Paulino's rose.)<BR/>And I certainly agree that it's way too early to tell; we still have 98% of the season to go, hehe. And it may be the only diff is that Doumit had to catch Marte twice and Paulino didn't. <BR/>We'll see how it plays out over the year. I'm not writing Doumit off, but he does have a ways to go yet.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-33879384030481444752008-04-04T01:57:00.000-04:002008-04-04T01:57:00.000-04:00I have to differ on the evaluation of the catcher....I have to differ on the evaluation of the catcher...Osoria, Yates and Grabow pitched fairly well on Monday night, when Doumit was catching. Marte faltered both nights, though. <BR/><BR/>I think it's a little too soon to judge the game calling on a total of 3 games that were strewn with errors by both teams. <BR/><BR/>Defensively, I think Doumit is better, and having seen him during Spring Training games, you're selling him a little short on 2 outings thus far.<BR/><BR/>I'm not knocking Paulino...he does his job well, I'm just pointing out that it's a little soon to be putting the same wrap on Doumit.DMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040990731983545455noreply@blogger.com
