You have a lot of catchers. Trade me one.

I have Santana at $10 and Martin at $6 in my AL. Pretty pleased with that. I also have Montero at $5, who looks like he will be catcher eligible at some point in 2012. Luckily, I can still price enforce catchers since Santana qualifies at 1B (Montero locks up my DH spot). Of course, Mike and Toz usually do enough price enforcing for the entire league.

I rarely keep catchers, but took a different route last year. We'll see if it works.

Napoli at 13 in American Dreams. It's a start.

In my secondary league I have Napoli $16 and Avila $3. I'm very, very happy. And, I'll be bidding heavily on Wieters to price enforce, with the possibility of moving Napoli to 1B.

I have Napoli at $19 and will be freezing him gleefully.

VMart will be missed.

The top 10 catchers in 2011 (4x4):

Mike Napoli 28
Victor Martinez 28
Alex Avila 22
Carlos Santana 17
Matt Wieters 17
Russell Martin 14
J.P. Arencibia 12
A.J. Pierzynski 12
Miguel Olivo 11
Jarrod Saltalamacchia 10

After that we drop into the single digits (Torrealba and Suzuki were worth $8) and the 24th catcher (take your pick of Jaso, Marson, Flowers, Castro or Conger) earned $2.

It's pretty grim. All told, 49 players qualified at catcher in the American League last year (20 games or the majority of games played at the position) and 18 of them either had no value or negative value.

To see the entire list of catchers in descending order in the Evaluator (even Posada, if your league has a one-game requirement), you sort hitters by Position and Patton $ (4x4 or 5x5).

To put Drew Butera at the top of the list, you sort them in ascending order.

Carlos Pena seems like a good fit to me.

Vlad would be a nice fit, too. Or Damon. Certainly still a few DH types out there.

I believe the Tigers have a Fielder jersey in Prince's size available.

I wanted to post the Lucky Gravy commercial with the Fielder's big and small, but I can't find it on youtube. I thought they had everything.

Andy Dirks, unless they go get someone else.

So who gets his ABs? That lineup suddenly looks REAL thin without him.
