The “New” “Worst” Player In Pirates History
You remember Doumit, right? He was a Pirate mainstay during the twilight years of the Bucs’ losing streak and a pretty good hitter, especially for a catcher. But his glove? It was...
...bad. It was bad. He was a bad defensive catcher. Really bad, actually. Anyone who watched him knew it. WAR didn’t know it, though. The formula for wins above replacement kind of liked him, pegging him at 8.4 career fWAR when he hung up the cleats after 2014. While 8.4 is hardly astounding, it’s a respectable total for a 10 year role player.
