I would say the same about Doumit if I knew he was gonna be the starting catcher all year.

Suzuki plays in Oakland, which is a pitcher park. Personally I like Snyder over those two. Doumit does qualify for both C and OF but seems to sit a lot. -------------------- Lots of fun! http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=9913884

Doumit qualifies as a catcher in most leagues and looks like he'll see plenty of time there this season, along with some time in the OF. Don't count out Jason Kendall. He had Lasik in the offseason. He's hitting so far, and in that lineup, he could really make it a comeback year. Remember, he used to be a .300 hitter. Now that he can see...who knows? -------------------- "Only boring people find baseball boring." ~ Peter Golenboch "...the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats." ~ Bill Veeck "The last time Willie Mays dropped a pop fly he had a rattle in one hand and a bonnet on his head." ~ Jim Murray "If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game." ~ Rickey Henderson "The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey.

Hes got a bit of everything. He can hit for avg, power and even steal. He hit 7 HR in 35 games last year. On fire in '08 batting over .400. 3 multi hit games in 8 games. Any projections?

And thats coming from a guy who watches him everyday, and a big Suzuki fan. I dont know where you get 15 SB's from because he doesnt run at all. Maybe 5 SB's if hes lucky. .275 13 HR's 65 RBI 65 Runs this year. He will be develop into a little better hitter I think, but his real value lies with his work behind the plate for the pitching staff. -------------------- Yonder.

The reports i've seen tell me he runs some. Well he hasnt in at least 2 years. Because he had 0 SB's in 0 attempts as the A's catcher last year, and 0 SB's in 0 attempts in his last full season in AAA Sacramento. He has good speed for a C, but he's not gonna run much. -------------------- Yonder.

On the Ballot Group: Established Members Posts: 3,333 Joined: 20-February 07 From: CALIFORNIA Member No.: 597	He had 5 SB's in 8 attempts for AA Midland in 2005. Thats the most running I found. Like I said before, he has good speed. But more of good speed to score on a single from second base, not SB speed. He could take a few bases though. -------------------- Yonder.
