Sol, this is tough becuas enone of those guys pop off the page at me. I like Suzuki because he is the most versatile of the bunch meaning he can hit for average, post a solid OBP, score runs, hit a few dingers and even steal a base or two or 5. He's a Billy Beane guy so he could posted better OBP than most catchers on that list. Snyder has 20HR pop but the cost is a .250 ish BA. I'd pass up the other two no problem.

Thanks for all your rankings. Which one of these catchers do you think has the most upside and value for a keeper league? John Baker (FLA), Nick Hundley (SD), Kurt Suzuki (SEA) and Chris Snyder (AZ). Thanks for your imput.

Thats a tough one because he's so unproven but if it were me personally, I'd jump on him sometime after Doumit but before Molina with Wieters.....maybe 12-14th round material in this case. 12 might be a stretch but you also will get 3B and 1B eligibility too.

In a popular site for fantasy baseball Sandoval does qualify as a catcher, with that in mind where would you rank him?

Pablo Sandoval doesn't qualify at Catcher in leagues with the normal 20 game qualifiers. I believe I have Sandoval posted in the 1B or 3B rankings. Sandoval will be the Giants 3rd baseman this season.

Where is Pablo Sandoval??

By the way, I have been doing some thinking and I changed around the catcher rankings with the top 4. So it now goes McCann (because he's only 24), Martin (because he contributes to all cats), Mauer (because I value high BA), and then VMart (to account for the injury risk). Soto is definitely my #5 but you can justify taking him above VMart at this point!

True. But, he's only 26, has one of the best arms for the position in the game, and can spray the ball all over the field. Plus, his BA has gone up in each of the last 3 seasons. Best part is, he's available at the end of your draft or for a buck or two in the auction! I'll pay $2 for that type of player any day!

I would be careful with Y Molina. He did hit .300 last year, but his career rate is still .262 and his K% has been very erratic.

Yeah, I'm not going to reconsider but you can make a case that those top 5 can be somewhat interchangeable. It all depends on your taste I guess. If VMart doesn't get hurt this year, you get .300/20/100, none of these other guys are doing that. Mauer has the .330+ potential but no power. McCann has 25HR power but he's not consistent in the BA deptartment and his team around him stinks. Martin can put up the best overall numbers if he can get that .300+ BA and Soto obviously has the power but you might be looking at .270. So it all depends what you want. I personally would rather get .300+ with 100+runs with Mauer and any extra HR/RBI/SB I get over the norm is gravy. Otherwise, I like VMart because he's proven and consistent in a good hitting lineup!
..... Jus' sayin'!

Thanks for putting out your catcher rankings for next season. I would reconsider Victor Martinez and Russell Martin for next year, personally. Would love for you to check out my site's rankings for 2009 fantasy baseball catchers. Click my link and feel free to critique. Thanks Fantasy Man.
