Newsbreakers
December 7, 2009
Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit is drawing heavy interest at this week's annual winter meetings, according to Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports.
Our View:
Morosi is not sure of who is specifically interested, but notes that the Mariners, Giants and Blue Jays have all been intrested in the past. After an excellent 2008 season, Doumit had an injury riddled 2009, and also clashed with Pirates management. He's a very good bet to get moved this week.
December 2, 2009
The Blue Jays are believed to have some interest in catcher Ryan Doumit, according to FOX Sports.
Our View:
Doumit is on the Pirates' trading block, but talks are yet to get serious with the Blue Jays. The 28-year-old backstop is under contract with Pittsburgh for two more seasons, with a two-year club option for 2012 and 2013. He is slated to earn $3.55MM in 2010.
September 30, 2009
Ryan Doumit homered and drove in four runs on Wednesday night, helping the Pirates to an 8-2 victory and sweep of a double-header at Wrigley Field.
Our View:
He also went 4-for-4. The four-hit night was his first of the season, while the four-RBI game was his first since April 11.
September 19, 2009
Pitrtsburgh Pirates beat writer Dejan Kovacevic is reporting on Twitter that the team will start Ryan Doumit in right field on Saturday. Doumit is the team's starting catcher.
Our View:
Doumit has played the outfield before, but not since 2007.
September 13, 2009
The struggling Ryan Doumit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run that was the difference in the Pirates 2-1 win over the Astros on Sunday.
Our View:
Doumit has just nine homers in a disappointing, injury-filled season. Sunday's blast was his first since August 25th, but he appears to be heating up, hitting .387 in September.
September 9, 2009
According to Jenifer Langosch on Twitter, catcher Ryan Doumit is not in Wednesday's lineup due to a stiff back.
Our View:
The injury is not considered serious and Doumit should be fine with an extra day of rest. Jason Jaramillo gets the start behind the plate for the third time in four games.
August 30, 2009
Ryan Doumit will return to the lineup on Sunday after being benched for Saturday's game. Doumit will catch and hit fourth for the Pirates.
Our View:
The Pirates still aren't giving a reason for the benching, but apparently a game and a half was enough. Expect Doumit to stay in the lineup for the rest of the season, as the benching shouldn't be a regular thing.
August 29, 2009
Ryan Doumit is not in the Pirates lineup in Milwaukee on Saturday night after being benched in the fifth inning on Friday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Doumit was removed from Friday's game without explanation by manager John Russell. Russell did say that Doumit was not hurt. Doumit has voiced his frustration with the Pirates' organization often this season and their continued trading of veteran players.
August 22, 2009
Ryan Doumit broke out of his lump in a big way on Saturday in the Pirates' 12-2 win over the Reds. Doumit went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three runs scored, and three RBI.
Our View:
This has been a lost season for Doumit, as he spent much of the first half on the DL and has struggled most of the second half. He showed tonight what he is capable of, but until he starts producing consistently he will remain a very borderline fantasy catcher.
August 18, 2009
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Ryan Doumit has been dropped from the cleanup spot and will hit fifth in Tuesday's game.
Our View:
Doumit has been struggling mightily lately and Manager John Russell wants him to balance out his swing and stop pressing at the plate. He thinks the demotion will take some of the pressure off. Andy LaRoche will hit in the cleanup spot until further notice.
August 14, 2009
According to Dean Kovacevic on Twitter, Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit is not in Friday's lineup due to tightness in his right wrist.
Our View:
Doumit's injury isn't considered serious and the Buccos say he'll be in Saturday's lineup, but wrist injuries are detrimental and the slugging catcher just had surgery on his. Don't be surprised if the Pirates play it safe with him and he misses an additional day. Keep him on your bench until further notice.
July 29, 2009
The Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports that catcher Ryan Doumit will sit out Wednesday's contest.
Our View:
Doumit is fine, but the Buccos' backstop hasn't had a day off since returning from the DL on July 10th. The team is just looking to give him some much needed time off. Since being activated he's hitting .250 with three homers ans 11 RBI.
July 27, 2009
Ryan Doumit was productive in tonight's 4-2 loss at San Francisco, as he went 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI.
Our View:
Doumit has a hit in six straight games, and is swinging the stick better after batting a dismal .244 in June.
July 22, 2009
Ryan Doumit cracked two home runs and drove in three in the Pirates come-from-behind 8-7 win over the Brewers on Wednesday.
Our View:
Doumit was hitting just .188 with five RBI since returning from injury before Wednesday's game. The two homers today were nice, but Doumit has little time left to save his dismal fantasy season. After being one of the league's most surprising breakout players last season, he's hitting .235 in just 21 games during this year's injury-plagued campaign.
July 19, 2009
Ryan Doumit knocked in two runs on Sunday, good for his first multi-RBI game since coming off of the disabled list on July 10, but it wasn't enough as Pittsburgh lost 4-3 to San Francisco at home.
Our View:
Doumit doesn't appear to have lost much offensively while on the disabled list, and should be owned in every format.
July 18, 2009
Ryan Doumit went 1-for-2 with a single and an RBI in tonight's close 2-0 win over the Giants at PNC Park.
Our View:
Doumit has two RBI on three hits this month. He was only hitting .206 over 63 at-bats heading into tonight's game, and hopefully he will heat up down the stretch for fantasy owners.
July 10, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Ryan Doumit has been activated from the DL following his recovery from right wrist surgery, according to TSN. Catcher Robinzon Diaz was sent down to the minors to make room on the roster.
Our View:
Doumit will return to his role as the Pirates' No. 1 catcher. He is among the top fantasy catchers when healthy.
July 10, 2009
Ryan Doumit could be done rehabilitating and ready to rejoin the Pirates, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Doumit went 2-for-4 for Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, and appears fully recovered from the right wrist injury that has kept him out for the better part of two months. Even if the Bucs hold off an activating him until after the All-Star break, you should be making space for him on your roster. If his owner dropped him at the time of his injury, he is definitely worth taking a flier on because of his potential to supply a lot of offense.
July 7, 2009
According to MLB.com, Pirates' catcher Ryan Doumit played seven innings behind the plate on Monday for Triple-A Indianapolis. It was the first time he has played more than five innings in a game since he began his rehab assignment. Doumit is still recovering from surgery on his right wrist.
Our View:
Doumit went 0-for-3 at the plate with two strikeouts, but it is still encouraging the he caught seven innings. There isn't a specific target date set for his return to the team, as the Pirates believe it will be after the All-Star break before he is available.
July 6, 2009
Ryan Doumit, who had been rehabbing with the Pirates rookie league team, is now playing an undetermined number of games with Triple-A Indianapolis, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
The Pirates say when he returns will be based more on how he looks than the numbers he puts up. They say he is most likely to return after the All-Star break, though Doumit himself is aiming for when the Pirates head to Philadelphia next weekend. Look for the team to win this argument, but you should keep an eye on him for further updates, regardless.
June 27, 2009
Ryan Doumit, who's been on the DL since April 20 with a broken wrist, is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis next Saturday, according to the Johnstown Tribune Democrat.
Our View:
There's no telling exactly how long Doumit will stay in Indianapolis, although the best bet has him returning to Pittsburgh sometime soon after the All-Star break. He has the potential to be a top-five hitting catcher, and thus he's probably worth adding if he happens to be floating around in your league's free agent pool.
June 14, 2009
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that catcher Ryan Doumit has been cleared to resume baseball activities. Doumit will ease his way back from wrist surgery. He will do a batting and throwing program for a few weeks before he begins to consider a rehab assignment.
Our View:
It sounds as if it could be another month before the catcher rejoins the Bucs. If he's on waivers in your league, and you are fortunate to have an open DL spot, it may be a shrewd move to pick him up as he should be a top 10 catcher once he returns.
May 28, 2009
Ryan Doumit has been given the green light to resume rehab after his CT scan revealed that his surgically-repaired right wrist is healing well, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
He will sport a cast for a while, but can start throwing again shortly. He could be ready to return to Pittsburgh in mid-June.
May 25, 2009
Ryan Doumit is slated for a CT scan on his surgically repaired right wrist Thursday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
He could start baseball-type rehab if the tiny fracture in his thumb has healed sufficiently. That would put Doumit on target to return to the Pirates by mid-June.
May 5, 2009
Ryan Doumit will have stitches in his right wrist removed tomorrow and will then be free to perform many additional exercises, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Doumit is still at least seven weeks away from a return. We'll continue to track his progress.
April 23, 2009
Updating a previous report, Ryan Doumit had successful surgery on his right wrist Thursday, according to MLB.com. There were no complications and his stint on the DL is still targeted at 8-10 weeks.
Our View:
Doumit has requested to travel with the team throughout his injury and rehab his wrist on the road. That's good news for a young upstart Pittsburgh team that needs leadership. Looks like Doumit is stepping up.
April 23, 2009
Ryan Doumit is scheduled to undergo wrist surgery today at Allegheny General Hospital, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Barring a setback in his recovery, Doumit could return to the diamond in early-July. Jason Jaramillo will serve as the Pirates' No. 1 catches while Doumit is on the shelf.
April 21, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Ryan Doumit will be placed on the DL and will miss 8-10 weeks after discovering he has a minimially displaced fracture of the scaphoid bone. The Pirates have promoted Robinzon Diaz from Triple-A Indianaplolis to fill their roster.
Our View:
This is much worse than originally thought for Doumit, and terrible news for the Pirates and for Doumit owners. He will have surgery on Thursday and will have pins inserted, so he will be out for a good while. Find another catcher if Doumit is your man, because even after he returns he may not hit for the power he is used to.
April 21, 2009
The Beaver County Times is reporting that Ryan Doumit could miss the entire series against the Marlins with his right wrist injury.
Our View:
The injury isn't serious, but it is enough to keep Doumit out of the lineup. Given his history of getting injured, the Pirates should be relatively happy this is just minor. Keep him out until at least Thursday, possibly later.
April 20, 2009
Ryan Doumit is listed as day-to-day with a right wrist injury, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Our View:
X-rays on Doumit's wrist were negative, and this is not expected to be anything that will sideline Doumit for more than a few days. He has, however, been injury-prone throughout his career, so there is a bit of reason to be concerned. Jason Jaramillo will start at catcher in Doumit's absence.
April 20, 2009
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Ryan Doumit will have an MRI on his right wrist this afternoon. The severity of the injury is currently unknown. Doumit injured the wrist during a swing in his second at-bat on Sunday. He will be out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Our View:
This sounds like bad news for Doumit, who has proven to be a viable option at the catching position. Wrist injuries are never good for guys who hit for power, but stay posted for updates.
April 18, 2009
Ryan Doumit went 3-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-0 win over Atlanta.
Our View:
Doumit has nine RBI over 11 games this season, and raised his batting average to .262. This marks the second time he collected three hits in a game this season.
April 17, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Ryan Doumit will be back in the Pirates' lineup of Friday night against Atlanta after receiving a day off on Thursday.
Our View:
Doumit had a routine rest yesterday, but will be hitting in the middle of the order for the Pirates tonight. He has two home runs and eight RBI already this season, and he remains a decent option at the catcher position.
April 11, 2009
Ryan Doumit had three hits, including a grand slam, in the Pirates' 10-2 win over Cincinnati Saturday.
Our View:
Good news for Pirates fans, as both Doumit and Nate McLouth, who had been slumping, had big days.
April 10, 2009
Pirates manager John Russell plans to give Ryan Doumit the day off on Saturday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Doumit has started off slow this season, currently 2-for-16 at the plate, but remains a top-six or seven option at catcher. Look for an option to fill Doumit's place on Saturday if your league institutes daily lineup changes, but feel fine about having Doumit as your catcher going forward.
March 29, 2009
Ryan Doumit hit his third home run of the spring on Sunday against the Yankees. He finished Pittsburgh's loss 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored.
Our View:
The 27-year-old catcher broke out last season, bashing 15 home runs for 69 RBI and a .318 average. Besides his obvious power, Doumit is a valuable fantasy commodity because of his extra-base hit ability, as evidence by his 34 doubles in 2008.
March 21, 2009
Ryan Doumit was 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Reds. He raised his average to .289 this spring.
Our View:
Doumit has picked up the pace, as expected. Once the rust is completely off, expect him to start raking. He'll go high for a catcher on draft day, so grab him after the big five are gone.
March 12, 2009
Ryan Doumit hit his first home run of the spring in Thursday's contest against the Twins. The Pirates' catcher is hitting a meager .217 this spring.
Our View:
Doumit is off to a slow start after a surprising season in 2008. Expect him to pick up the pace as the regular season draws near and he resumes his role as a top fantasy catcher.
March 2, 2009
Ryan Doumit drove in a run Monday in the Pirates 2-1 win over the Reds, but failed to record a hit. He is hitting .111 this spring.
Our View:
A late fantasy steal last year and relative unknown, Doumit has stepped into the spotlight in 2009 and will need to pick up the pace if the Pirates are going to have any chance of being an offensive threat.
