Tracking the Preaux Career of Scott Dohmann

[Turbine]

This just in:

The Colorado Rockies have acquired left-hander Jeremy Affeldt and right-hander Denny Bautista from the Kansas City Royals for infielder Ryan Shealy and right-hander Scott Dohmann.

Good.

Lets him get out of that thin air and go where his pitches can have some movement.

As a lifelong Royals fan, my heart sank when I saw that he was going to Kansas City. He deserves no part of that putrid franchise.

When I was a little boy, I seem to remember a George Brett playin for the Royals and they were pretty decent. Did they become putrid after his days were over??

God Bless

GEAUX UL RAGIN CAJUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eight consecutive scoreless relief appearances have a way of earning the manager's trust. Such is the case with right-hander Scott Dohmann, who has worked eight shutout innings in eight games since he was last scored upon on July 22 at Yankee Stadium. "He's got really good stuff," Maddon said. "If he throws strikes, you can use him in a variety of situations. I think his confidence is coming up, and we're having more confidence to use him in a variety of roles." Dohmann, 29, had his contract purchased from Triple-A Durham on July 20 and coughed up three runs to the Yankees in just his second appearance. But he settled in and picked up his first win of the season. The reliever has lowered his ERA from 12.00 to 3.27 during his recent stretch of success. The rest of the story

One of the more pleasant surprises for the Rays last season was the performance of Scott Dohmann, likely the least popular player acquired during the off-season, many questioned the usage of a 40-man roster spot on the 29 year old with a career ERA well over 5. In fact the common terminology uttered when Dohmann's name popped up became "D'oh!" 31 appearances for the team later that sound byte became the theme for a Dohmann strikeout. Shockingly Dohmann posted a career low ERA and a VORP of 8.7; third highest amongst pitchers behind Scott Kazmir and James Shields. The rest of the story By R.J. Anderson Section: Opinion

ST. PETERSBURG – RH Grant Balfour admitted to feeling the pressure. With all except one spot in the Tampa Bay bullpen remaining, Balfour was in a one-on-one, mano-a-mano battle with Scott Dohmann. Until Thursday, Balfour had the upper hand, at least during spring training. His previous three outings drew the praises of Rays manager Joe Maddon. Balfour continued his hot streak, retiring the first four of the first five Cleveland hitters Thursday in Winter Haven. A single and three straight walks later may have earned Balfour his walking papers. “I don’t know where that came from,” Balfour said. “Maybe I started thinking too much. I’m annoyed with myself. I don’t know if that makes any difference with who’s on the team or what.” The Rays also picked up left-handed hitting outfielder Nathan Haynes on waivers from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. It didn’t help the pitcher in direct competition with Balfour followed and performed to perfection. Dohmann got the final out with the bases loaded and worked a perfect inning. The rest of the story
