Catcher Paul Lo Duca wants back in the big leagues

By Mark J. Miller

Catcher Paul Lo Duca(notes) spent 10 years in the big leagues with four different teams and wasn't signed last year. Now he's apparently telling Sirius XM Radio that he wants back in, according to the New York Daily News.

Lo Duca told the satellite radio station that he's completely healthy and everything he's had surgery on (hamstring, knee) feels perfect. "I want to go back in it full bore and [do] whatever needs to be done," he said. "I want to play on a team that wants to win and wants a player that wants to win. I'll do whatever I need to do. If it's come off the bench, if it's spot starts, I'll do whatever they need me to do."

The 5'9" 36-year-old who has a .286 career average and popped only 80 homers in his ten years in the league isn't expecting to be the starting catcher for anybody. "I really feel like I can offer a good bat off the bench to somebody and do whatever needs to be done," he said.

Guess he was getting bored as a horse-racing analyst for the TVG Network.

You're fourth on the list.

You're more like a situational lefty. Better in big spots.

You have even admitted you're at a disadvantage handicapping multiple tracks.

[BarkingShark]

Ya, but I got other talents.

[tencentcielo]

Then you can replace Matt when he leaves. You'd be perfect for Blinkers Off.

No offense to Del Mar, Eliteone, Angman or any other dual-classic posters in the Community, but if we were going to hire someone from the online community it's gotta be Bombs Away Bob Grant!
