Via Pie's Reviews  |  March 20, 2008
Look, I know spring training doesn't mean much and there's only a little correlation between performances in March and performances from April to September (see: Ronny Paulino last year). But you'd have to be worried about the lack of offense by most of the Pirate starters. Still, there's no sense wo...

He is a decent catcher with above average power that could improve as he ages some. Taschner gives the Phillies another lefty...

Paulino Out, Taschner In

Via We Should Be GM's  |  March 28, 2009
Ronny Paulino already gone? Everyone's favorite 33 year old rookie, Chris Coste, has secured the backup catching gig, which left Ron-Paul without a job. Just like Kris Benson the season before him, Paulino will never officially be considered a Phucco, as he only saw MLB time with the Buccos, but never the Phils. But where did he go? To the San Francisco Giants for all of 3 nanoseconds...
