He was drafted as a catcher but a chronic hip problem forced him to move positions. He was at third for a little but (go figure) he wasn't quick enough so he wound up at first.

DonkeyKongerko Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I don't know what his D was like as a catcher but it's too bad about his hip. His offense from that position would be a huge plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I've got the same card, same autograph, black pen. He played catcher, and in interleague for MVP all I do is put Thomas at 1st and Konerko at catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxhawks Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 man if he still caught he'd be an all star every year, he might even be the best offensive catcher in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Virtually every player that comes up seems to play SS, CF, or Catcher. THat's just where a HS or College team puts its best player. If you think Paulie would be a sick catcher, think for a second if Carlos Delgado would have stayed at catcher......

Reddy Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 ya know for some reason it had never occurred to me that Pauly was only 28... why wouldnt we want to keep him around for at least a few more years...? it seems like he's in his prime and it'd be foolish to dump him wouldnt it? I mean he's only a year older than A-Row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo Paz Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Paulie as a catcher...yeah, that would be great. He's not nearly slow enough now. With the added wear on his knees, he would make Smokey Burgess look like B. B. Richards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I have a Paulie rookie card where he has all the catcher's gear on and I think he's got someone caught in a pickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) Biggio was drafted as a catcher as well. Just an interesting fact. Biggio not only was drafted as a catcher, but came up as catcher. I believe he was even an all-star as a carcher, but I could be wrong about that. It seems to me I recall being impress that the guy could make the AS team as a catcher, then as a 2B. Biggio's a pretty phenomenal player, when you think about what he's done over the years.
