Doumit dominates Reds

Ryan Doumit lifted a ninth-inning grand slam off of Reds pitcher Mike Lincoln for his first home run of the 2009 season. Doumit goes 3-5 on the afternoon to go along with the run scored and four RBI, lifting his paltry average to .238. The Pirates pounded the Reds, 10-2.

Fantasy Impact: Doumit played in just 116 games in 2008 thanks to breaking his thumb mid-season. He's one of those rare plus-average, plus-power catchers. Consider him a lesser Brian McCann; a backstop capable of climbing into the top five at his position as he warms up.
