Well, there’s no way I’d be starting Doumit over Sandoval, J. Great 22nd round choice. Kung Fu Panda has been a force this year. Maybe Doumit can slide into a utility spot or something, but I wouldn’t be taking out Sandoval.

I would definitely start Doumit, but be very wary of his injury risk. He’s been so in and out of the lineup over the years that if you’re going with him, make sure you have a viable backup.

The fractured wrist thing always concerns me, especially with a guy who hits for power — Ortiz and Hafner had huge issues coming back from it.

Use him so long as he produces, but just get ready to have a reserve backstop.

What about a player like Doumit. He played in around 12 games before he was injured the rest of the first half pretty much.

Will he a half first half of the season average numbers or second half. He’s arguably still playing the first half of his season.
