Fantasy baseball season is gearing up, as is my fantasy site RotoAuthority.com. Today I've taken a stab at ranking the top 24 catchers for 2010 - check it out.
The one that really stands out here is Miguel Montero. To me, he’s easily a top-8 catcher and perhaps even top-5 considering how Snyder has fallen back. Montero’s defense has improved dramatically and his bat is far superior to Snyder’s.
Uh, both qualify at catcher this year and Martinez is probably good for 30 more points of average, and though both may hit for about the same amount of HRs, Martinez is in a superior lineup and will dwarf Napoli’s HR total. They are not even close in value.
How do you figure? Vmart has had twice the RBI totals as Napoli the last 2 years (and a few more home runs). You can roster VMart as a catcher regardless of whether he is playing 1B on a given day. Vmart is more valuable b/c he will be in the lineup everyday, where is Napoli will not.
Awesome, love the RotoAuthority site… keep up the great work Tim!

Mathis and those Doubles will now get him a ton of PT.
Mike “1980’s” Scioscia and his silly ways.

Will Napoli get to play more than 110 games in 2010 though? Hasn’t he been limited due to not being the full-time catcher in the last 2 seasons?
Last year – Napoli 114 games, Vmart 155 games
Mathis 84 games
