Ari: Catcher Of The Awry
2008-06-08 23:31:00
Former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer denies ex-underling Scottie McClellan's book bomb that the press sucked up to Bush on the Iraq war. "At the risk of agreeing with one of my toughest protagonists in the briefing room - NBC's David Gregory [far left, groovin' w/Karl "MC" Rove] - the press was tough, plenty tough. I have the scars -- and the transcripts -- to prove it." Wash Post editorial

Breaking News: Retired Catcher Could Help Brewers Win Big Tonight!!!
2008-06-01 20:00:00
06/2/08 POINTSHAVERS.COM - Tonight, former Brewers catcher Damian Miller may provide Milwaukee hitters with inside information on Diamondbacks pitching in order to keep their winning streak alive.Yesterday, the Brewers finished off the Astros 10-1 for a three-game-sweep of the Houston Astros. A big key to Milaukee's success as of late has been great pitching; however, the Brewers' outstanding performace at the plate over the last several days has taken the entire league by suprise. The Brewers outscored Lance Berkman the hard hitting Astros 19-3 in the threee-game-series. However, in Milwaukee's previous 3-game-homestand against the Braves, the Brewers put up just 3 runs in 3 games.The Diamondbacks come into this game with some great momentum after shutting out the Nationals in two consecutive games (4-0 and 5-0). Arizona got some great pitching from their ace Brandon Webb and former Oakland starter Dan Haren. Tonight, former Milwuakee Brewers starter Doug Davis (2-2 W-L...

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself - the desire for a bad pun was just too strong. But, yes, this post is about Chris Coste, the 35-year-old journeyman Triple-A catcher who is trying to convince the Phillies to never send him back down, and doing a pretty good job of it. After hitting his ...

If you have MLB.tv, you’re well aware that MLB has opened up voting for the 2008 All-Star Game, as the commercial every half inning reminds us constantly.

Water Catcher Umbrella, Brilliant!

Check out this water catcher umbrella concept.  From the picture it seems like you can even plant the whole thing to grow some plants. Well, I think if they can further take their idea into using the water as stabilization for the umbrella itself or make it steam out during a hot day, that’d be somethin’. As ...
The water catcher
2008-05-26 16:00:00
This is a variation of the umbrella, which as well as keeping the person underneath dry, it also serves another valuable service by collecting and filtering the rain water too. As you can see from the design there is a dip in the centre of the canopy where the water is directed, the material is specially made from compostable polylactic acid plastic blends, it is this that drives the water into the hollow rod, which has a carbon filter within. So as the rain water washes over the canopy and down the rod, it is filter through the carbon. All that is required now is any plastic drinking bottle which can be fixed onto the handle and removed when full. It may not be quick, but it is better than wasting the rain water.

The Catcher Market
2008-05-21 17:11:00
As we near June, trade rumors will start to pick up.  It's always fun to try to find teams with matching needs.  With that in mind, I'm going to profile available players at each position on the diamond.  Today we'll start with catchers.  Let me know in the comments if you have anyone to add. Ramon Hernandez, Orioles.  The O's are playing surprisingly well, but Hernandez is not hitting.  He makes $7.5MM this year, $8MM in '09, and has an $8.5MM option for '10 with a $1MM buyout.  I imagine the Orioles would like to move that contract. Gerald Laird, Rangers.  The Rangers aren't out of contention quite yet.  When they are, it'll be time for Laird to step aside for Jarrod Saltalamacchia.  Laird, a Boras client, is under team control through 2010.  He's having an improved year at the plate. Ronny Paulino, Pirates.  Once Ryan Doumit returns in June, the Bucs can at least consider moving Paulino.  Paul Lo Duca and ...

Mike Napoli: The Catcher Version of Adam Dunn
2008-05-18 14:05:00
Not to be confused with Adam Dunn, this is Mike Napoli. Over the past several seasons, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Dunn has earned a reputation in most clubhouses for being a big-time power hitter who fails to hit for average and strikes out often. In 2007, Dunn batted .264 with 40 home runs

I want to focus more on examining whether certain players are legitimately good or due for a regression, or whether certain players are legitimately bad or due to break out of a slump. Thoughts: Ryan Doumit: $19.64: Per Ron Shandler, a true .300 hitter is one with a 86% contact rate and an 11% walk rate.  Doumit currently sports exactly an 86.00% contact rate, combined with a 3.77% walk rate.  Doumit is currently hitting .340, well above any mark he's ever achieved.  BP's 90th percentile projection, a decent indication of a p...
Catcher switch
2008-05-10 18:11:00
Last night before the rain out the Mets made an expected roster move when they DFA Raul Casanova and activated Ramon Castro. Hopefully, Casanova will make it through waivers and accept assignment to New Orleans. With Castro being such an injury risk it would be nice to keep his bat as a reserve, in 12 gms he's hitting .283 with a home run, two doubles and 6 RBIs."Raul did a tremendous job for us," manager Willie Randolph said. "He got some big hits for us, had a big game up in L.A., and had a home run here in New York. I just told him how much I appreciated his effort ... and hopefully, he can clear waivers and we can keep him and he'll be back, helping us win a championship." source The Star Ledger

The Seattle Mariners have announced their decision to give catcher Kenji Johjima a three-year $24 million contract extension.

Who Needs A Backup Catcher? Part II
2008-04-19 10:31:00
Two weeks ago, we discussed who would be a good fit for catcher Humberto Quintero, who had been designated for assignment by the Astros on March 31. It turns out he cleared waivers and was outrighted to AAA Round Rock, where he played just one game before being recalled. He went 2 for 4 with a double before being DFA'd again, this time to make room for Kaz Matsui. Astros GM Ed Wade on the situation: "We think he's a big league catcher, has big league ability, but we can't carry three catchers." That's a very insightful statement. No, you can't carry three catchers if you're stocking 12 pitchers. It's just that I'd far rather keep the 28-year-old guy with plus defense over the 39-year-old who hasn't been good in a very long time. Last time around, we had talked about the Red Sox and the Giants as possible suitors. The Orioles were a possibility, though the timing might not be right. They'd have to unload Ramon Hernandez first, and he's off to a horrible start. The Reds we...

Who Needs A Backup Catcher?
2008-04-05 13:47:00
We just talked about the lack of teams looking for a backup corner infielder. So what about backup catcher? The Astros have until Wednesday to do something with DFA'd catcher Humberto Quintero. It's a foregone conclusion that some team would pluck him off waivers before he could be outrighted to AAA Round Rock, considering his meager $400K salary. The 28-year-old backstop has put up some decent minor league numbers, though he's never gotten any consistent time in the majors. His forte is defense, especially his arm. David Wells once said of him: "He's throwing 110 (mph) down to first and I'm only pitching 88 to home plate." Maybe he could become somewhat of a Jose Molina. So who's in the market? Well, Boston has been looking for a solid backstop to catch knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, and maybe the Giants are looking for an upgrade from Steve Holm. That might be a longshot, though, since quality backup catchers are usually more desired by contending teams. Still, the Giants coul...
Olney: Red Sox Looking For A Catcher
2008-04-04 12:25:00
From Buster Olney's blog today: Scouts and officials with other teams say the Red Sox have been actively making inquiries about catchers. Kevin Cash is Tim Wakefield's personal catcher, for now.  Not sure on their knuckleball-handling skills, but here are some other backstops who may be available: Gerald Laird, Michael Barrett, Ramon Hernandez, Bengie Molina, Humberto Quintero, Brayan Pena, and Jeff Mathis.  However, Laird may be off limits and Barrett isn't known for his defense.  Molina and Hernandez are signed through '09.

Evan Grant, of the Dallas Morning News, reports that the Texas Rangers have discussed having C Jarrod Saltalamacchia split time with starting C Gerald Laird, while serving as a designated hitter on days when Laird starts behind the plate. This situation would likely require the team to keep Adam Melhuse as a third catcher on the roster. There is also a possibility that Saltalamacchia will begin the season as a full-time catcher with Triple-A Oklahoma, while Melhuse serves as the backup on the parent club.
