Ryan "The Real Deal" Doumit

Eric Seidman writing at FanGraphs has an entry up today on perhaps the second-best offensive catcher in the NL, our own Ryan Doumit.

Seidman concludes (as would any reasonable person) that Doumit is due for a regression to the mean, but only a slight one at this point, which will probably leave him with 18 HR and an .866 OPS for his final season stats.

Considering he spent another chunk of time on the DL this year, that's nothing to sneeze at. It's no wonder the beat reporters have been including talk of the club signing Doumit to an extension in the off-season, along with teen hearthrob Nate McClouth.
