Are you sure? I don't think that Paulino would want to trade for the nickname of "Sex Offender".
Vlad, should we fill them in or just let them find out on their own?
Well, he's pretty good except that he doesn't really try to block pitches off the plate. That and the fact that he can't catch throws from the outfield. And he's not willing to block the plate. And he can't hit any pitch on the outer half of the plate because he steps severely in the bucket on every swing. And he pretty much became a basket case over the last two years.
So there really aren't any reasons not to like him, except for his hitting and his fielding.
Goodbye Coste? I must say, Paulino has been made to sound uniquely unlikeable, lo these many years I've been reading the Pgh newspapers. But probably a better pinch hitter than Coste?
Very strange.
The constant lack of effort on his part is absolutely palpable. Maybe getting traded will be a wake-up call, though I wouldn't bet on it.
Though to be honest, I'm kind of having trouble seeing him muster up the energy to thrust... maybe he's a big fan of the reverse cowgirl?
The C depth was great in the early part of the decade. Then:
Jason Kendall hurt his thumb and was never the same hitter afterward.
Craig Wilson got moved to 1B/OF.
J.R. House received malpractice-type treatment on his injured shoulder, which hurt his development, and eventually led to his release.
Chris Shelton was lost in the Rule 5.
Humberto Cota never developed.
Ronny Paulino lollygagged his way into, well, being Ronny Paulino.
Thus, out of the whole group, we're down to Doumit.
Oh yeah, right, thanks.
Just screw-ups from one end of the chain to the other.
Actually, if I were a Phils fan, I'd pray it's whoever it has to be to get Peavy. You don't hold up a deal like that for a second tier catching prospect.
Not a bad consolation prize :)
It's moot of course unless Peavy approves a trade to Philly, but it's hard to see why he wouldn't want to go to the defending champs. In any case, however, I am certainly praying it does happen. Maybe Carrasco
+ Marson + one of Brown/Taylor/Donald + two fringe-level types. I'm biased towards Philly prospects, but I think this is a much better offer than what the Cubs or Braves were offering.
Paulino for Hairston, however, might make sense for both clubs, and wouldn't require the Cubs to get their act together for it to happen. Paulino would also let the Phils give up Carlos Ruiz to San Diego as part of a Peavy deal bringing DeRosa to the Phils.
It gives the Phils another major-league-ready option here, which is never a bad thing.
Peavy will either be a Padre or a Cub once spring starts.
