Past Fantasy Outlooks
2008
2007
2006
Since manager Jim Tracy got canned, it remains to be seen what kind of a future Osoria has within the Pittsburgh organization. Tracy had ties to Osoria when the Pirates claimed him off of waivers from Los Angeles, where Tracy once managed, in December of 2006. The 26-year-old pitched in parts of 25 games with the Pirates, losing a pair of decisions while finishing with a 4.76 ERA. Opposing hitters batted a comfortable .289 against the 26-year-old righty, leaving plenty of room for improvement -- that is, if the Bucs give him another chance. Either way, Osoria doesn't figure to have much of a fantasy future with Pittsburgh or anywhere else, for that matter.
As they did in 2005, Osoria's platoon splits did him in again in 2006 as left-handers hit him to the tune of .500/.536/.923 (gulp) while he held righties to .286/.379/.367. Until he figures out an effective pitch to help neutralize lefties, Osoria will continue the Triple-A/MLB shuffle.
If there were such a term as a "ROOGY" (Right-handed One Out Guy), Osoria would fit the description aptly. His three-quarters motion effectively neutralizes righties, but lefties pounded him (albeit in a small sample) to the tune of .392/.426/.569.
