Just picked him up, he is hitting .524 w/ 2 HR's 4 RBI's 5 R's and 1 SB in the last week. I don't know too much about the guy, but those are pretty nice #'s for someone available at C.

Anyone know anymore on this guy?

came up last year or the year before. Was heralded as PITT's next C and was allegedly a stud in the making as he was ripping the cover off the ball at AAA. He struggled when reaching the show and the hype on him as died way down. He is no longer playing C, but is splitting time between first and has 4 or 5 games in the OF in the last couple of weeks. This could be a sign of things to come as he is finally seemingly living up to his heralded potential, or it could be a mirage. Probably worth the flier if you have the bench space.

JUST MHO

Edited to add: As I think about it he came up two years ago. Do a seach on CBS for career numbers and you'll see what I mean.

FOund this on Rotoworld while doing my daily reading after positng here

Ryan Doumit is another name from the fantasy prospect graveyard that's enjoying a pleasant resurgence. Once a hot catching prospect who had roto-owners jumping all over each other to get him, the Pittsburgh prospect never panned out. Now that he's no longer primarily a backstop, his bat has come around and Doumit is finally living up to the once-lofty expectations. Doumit's value in your league will depend on whether he's catcher eligible, having played 11 games there in 2006 and 2 so far in 2007, he's likely not C-eligible in every format. If he is, grab him and grab him quickly. He could be the rarest of all roto-breeds, a catcher that doesn't catch.
