People are forgetting the braves needed a left handed bad for the bench. Doumit was not acquired because he can catch. He was acquired because he is a lefty bat.
I do believe the braves wanted Eric Chavez because minutes after the Doumit deal was announced Chavez had re upped with the D-Backs.
Don't think those 2 moves are not connected because they are.
Gattis is the everyday catcher
Laird in the back up
Betancourt wil be in AAA
Nothing changed from what happened yesterday.

.750 OPS lol, sorry.
Glad someone dredged this one up. I was perusing Twins' minor league stats out of curiosity and see that Gilmartin is pitching in AA to start the season. Off to a decent start with the same pre-AAA pattern in play: Solid K and K/BB, Shaky BAA. Twins love those guys (and look how well they do with them!).
Still don't see the need to complain about this deal. First of all, it's early, so who knows what Doumit will do. Even if he totally sucks all year, Gilmartin is borderline a non-prospect.
Glad this thread was resurrected to show that some fantasy league clown insisted that Kimbrel was due for $13-20MM/year.
