Is it baseball season yet? I know I can’t wait for my favorite fantasy sport to start up again.
Catcher is a top-heavy position. Either you get a guy like Joe Mauer or Buster Posey or you play a patchwork of lower-level options.
But that is what is so great about fantasy baseball. In fantasy football, you set a lineup once a week, and if a star player gets hurt, your team is pretty much done (Aaron Rodgers’ concussion ruined three of my FF teams.).
But in fantasy baseball, there are games every single day, and you can micro-manage your team, making up for injuries and cold streaks.
So, if you end up with a catcher outside the top 10, it’s not a big deal. You can mix and match guys to try to squeeze as much production as possible from the position.
Of course, it’ll make things a little easier if you manage to grab one of these top 10 catchers in your draft.
