Newsbreakers
December 8, 2009
Robinzon Diaz has been signed by the Tigers, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Dejan Kovacevic.
Our View:
Look for Diaz to compete in spring training for the right's to back up Gerald Laird at catcher, needless to say he won't have any fantasy value.
November 30, 2009
Robinzon Diaz has been released by the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
He went unclaimed after being designated for assignment ten days ago. He is now a free agent. In 129 at-bats last season, he hit .279.
November 20, 2009
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that the Pirates have designated catcher Robinzon Diaz for assignment. Diaz played in 41 games for the team last season.
Our View:
Diaz was in an unfortunate situation in Pittsburgh, as he was behind Ryan Doumit and Jason Jaramillo on the depth chart, and out of minor league options. He filled in admirably while both catchers were down last season, as he hit .279 with 19 RBI in 129 at-bats.
September 8, 2009
Robinzon Diaz have recalled catcher Robinzon Diaz from Triple-A Indianapolis, according to MLB.com. Diaz is hitting .295 with the team this season.
Our View:
Diaz will be third in line for duty behind Ryan Doumit and Jason Jaramillo, so don't expect to see too much of him. In limited time this season he has been decent at the plate, but Doumit and Jaramillo have more upside.
July 27, 2009
The Tigers are reportedly interested in catcher Robinzon Diaz, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Diaz is currently playing at Triple-A Indianapolis. Other teams may inquire about him as well, and the Pirates have enough depth at catcher to let him go in a deal.
July 10, 2009
Robinzon Diaz has been optioned to the minors by the Pirates, according to TSN. Ryan Doumit was activated from the DL as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Diaz fared well while providing depth at catcher, as he held a .295 average with one homer and 18 RBI over 112 at-bats. But he now holds no value to fantasy owners while working in the minors.
June 14, 2009
Robinzon Diaz only had one hit on Sunday, but he still managed to drive in three runs as the Pirates beat the Tigers 6-3. Diaz went 1-for-4 with a sac fly and a two RBI single.
Our View:
Diaz has been hitting well when he gets a chance, but he is still splitting time with Jason Jaramillo at catcher. The only way Diaz will have any fantasy value would be if he played every day, and that doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
May 13, 2009
Robinzon Diaz made back-to-back starts behind the plate for the Pirates, and was moved up to the No. 5 spot in the batting order, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Jason Jaramillo was expected to get the bulk of the starts at catcher while Ryan Doumit is on the DL, but skipper John Russell likes the way Diaz is swinging the bat, and may be given a larger role. Diaz is hitting .400 over 25 at-bats, with one homer and four RBI. Diaz is worth a look for deeper NL-only leagues if you need help at the position.
May 7, 2009
Robinzon Diaz went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-2 loss at St. Louis. His other knock was a single.
Our View:
Diaz accounted for two of the Pirates' four hits today. Diaz has registered a hit in each of his four appearances this season, with five hits over the span.
April 21, 2009
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that the Pirates have recalled Robinzon Diaz from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace the injured Ryan Doumit, who was placed on the DL.
Our View:
Diaz will be the backup to Jason Jaramillo in Doumit's absence. Diaz had a nice spring, but was sent down in favor of Jaramillo. He should get some at-bats, especially if Jaramillo struggles at the plate.
March 28, 2009
Robinzon Diaz was assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The Pirates apparently opted to go with Jorge Jaramillo as Ryan Doumit's backup catcher, despite the fact that he hit just .143 compared to Diaz's .423; Jaramillo is a superior defender, though Diaz is not bad, making the move a bit surprising given the disparity in hitting this spring. Diaz still has a chance to make the bigs this season if something happens to either player ahead of him.
March 10, 2009
Robinzon Diaz continues to battle Jason Jaramillo for the No. 2 role at catcher for the Pirates, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Diaz is batting .417 in spring training while Jaramillo is hitting .250, but Jaramillo has gunned down all three runners trying to steal on him.
Our View:
Neither catcher looks to hold much fantasy value as long as Ryan Doumit remains intact.
