- Russell Martin
Finally a catcher with power and speed, he can also play some third base in the near future. With a more solid line-up he can get back to driving in 90 runs. Is worth a high pick in NL-only leagues and will be one of my keepers for next year.
Final Numbers: 87/13/69/18/.280
- Brian McCann
Alright so we expected more from McCann but can we complain? He is a catcher and finding a playable catcher in NL-only leagues is almost impossible. The Braves will look to get more runners on so McCann can drive them in, 100 RBIs for 2009.
Final Numbers: 68/23/87/5/.301
- Geovany Soto
Should have the Rookie of the Year Award. Showed no signs of tiring over his first full big league season, hit .341 in April and .355 in August. He could be at the top of this list for years to come hitting in the Friendly Confines.
Final Numbers: 66/23/86/0/.285
- Ryan Doumit
Nice numbers from a Pirates catcher and another solid season from Doumit. I don’t think he will have to worry about being traded anytime soon unless the Pirates decide he is too good NOT to trade away.
Final Numbers: 71/15/69/2/.318
- Bengie Molina
The only offensive bright spot for the Giants, and from their catcher no less. He might need to worry about his weight as the Giants used him more as a pinch-hitter than an everyday starter down the stretch. But you can’t be unhappy with 95 RBIs from your catcher.
Final Numbers: 46/16/95/0/.292
- Chris Iannetta
Chris had some good months and some bad months but the final numbers are what we expected from a young slugger at Coors Field. He seems to have the everyday catcher job to himself going into the 2009 season.
Final Numbers: 50/18/65/0/.264
- Chris Snyder
Decent power numbers but caught a case of the Dunns with over 100 strikeouts. He is no danger of losing his job to the soft-hitting Miguel Montero.
Final Numbers: 47/16/64/0/.237
- Yadier Molina
All average and no power, if you can pair him with a slugger with a low average Yadier wont hurt you as much.
Final Numbers: 37/7/56/0/.304
- Pablo Sandoval
A young slugger who the Giants will use as their everyday 1st baseman, but he still retains catcher eligibility on Yahoo! into the 2009 season. Could put up 80/20/90 but don’t expect him to hit .345 over a whole season.
Final Numbers: 24/3/24/0/.345
- John Baker
A nice pick-up during mid-season as he did not hurt you in any category and hit around .300 the last half of the season. He is older than most catcher prospects and may not be able to retain these numbers over the course of a full season.
Final Numbers: 32/5/32/0/.299
