Ryan Doumit anyone?

In the search for a catcher who can't remember disco and defensive flexibility, I came across this blog posting from Yahoo, which reminded me of Doumit's really good 2008 season and the Gigantes pre-existing relationship with Pittsburgh. Now we all know that Dave Littlefield left Brian Sabean's # on the speed-dial (see Schmidt, Jason) so would something like this be an ok stopgap until Buster's ready in the eyes of the Sabean? He's under contract for 2 more years (something Sabean said was the limit on a catcher), on the right side of 30, and since he's coming off a "down year" (probably after realizing he was stuck playing for the pirates for the rest of the year) he could come at a decent price. So what is that price and would we be willing pay it?

the Pirates signed Vinnie Chulk this week so we know they have poor judgement.
Down in Front Meat!
Doumit wouldn't be bad
but my rage at the Alderson-Sanchez trade reminds me not to trust this new good management team of Pittsburgh.
Doesn't it sting less when you remember what we gave up to get Schmidt
and how they let us dump Matt Morris on them? It’s not our fault Sabean liked Randy Winn more than Raj Davis.

no
he’d be lonely

Considering Doumit would be playing at Catcher
I tend to agree with you (in this magical fantasy land), but he does have the ability to play first, or LF/RF in a pinch.

This isn’t really a new topic, but I’d take him if it was for spare parts. He should come pretty cheaply given that he’s never played a full season in the majors.
The very bad man traded my son...So now I'd like you all to meet my new son, Ryan "Aaron" Garko...Dammit it's just not the same!
I like Doumit, but not too sure what PIT would want in return. If it happened I am sure most would be upset about what we gave up.

For those two players
interest level rising.
mid level back up catcher..check
trading utility player for another utility player…check
decent career mlb numbers (although SSS applies) .273 / .332 / .448 /.780 / 104…check
bounceback rule in effect…check
Matt Downs . The Kevin Frandsen of 2010 !
Not really interested.
Joe Martinez: You are cool.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
I think Doumit was the Catcher in Event Horizon
I cannot look at the black pits this guy uses for eyeballs and hope that he ever puts a Giants uni on.
Freaky, man. Just freaky.
Officially disinterested in any high school outfielders from the state of Mississippi.
