Has anybody noticed what Ronny Paulino is doing at Indy?  In three games he's gone 9 for 13 with 4 doubles and 2 homers.  His OPS is over 2!  Only three games, but maybe the demotion has had some effect.  Maybe he's decided to put some effort into his game and when, and if he returns, he may be more like the player he was several years ago.  I gather the Buc pitchers like throwing to Chavez, but it would be nice to have two catchers who hit well.

I've got nothing informative to post right now; hopefully will in the future.  I just want to say thanks to Charlie. This is the best Pirate site I've found (is there a better one, lol) and Charlie's comments and work on mainting the site are top notch. I especially enjoyed your post on the status of the relief staff and thought your Rule 5 piece was as informstive as any blog I've recently read. Keep up the good work,  Let's Go Bucs!
