    Year of the catcher breakout

    Seems like there are quite a few catchers breaking out this year. I can almost hear the crying of the fantasy managers who drafted 2 stud catchers in their 2 catcher leagues and lost their advantage.

    Omar Narvaez - SEA
    Mitch Garver - MIN
    Jason Castro - MIN
    Josh Phegley - OAK
    Christian Vazquez - BOS
    Pedro Severino - BAL
    James McCann - CWS

      Willson Contreras has had a pretty big breakout

        Elias Diaz has been pounding the ball and got his first HR last night.


        Cervelli is highly questionable now with his injury history and Diaz may well be the #1 catcher for the Bucs going forward.

            Weird, Severino played in Washington for several years, if you play NL only you should definitely know him well.

              is it true that having a sense of humor skips a generation? I'm starting to believe it.

                      I love Diaz as well, especially in leagues using BA.

                      I hope Cervelli retires soon for his own sake. Too many concussions to keep catching, and he's made enough money, had a good run.

                        ROS: Narvaez or Alfaro?

                        Despite his solid numbers, Narvaez is in a full platoon now.

                          It's crazy -- we spent all off-season talking about how awful the position was going to be this year, yet 15 dudes (min 50 PA) had a wOBA over .340 this year.

                              Last year I was with them, in a 2-catcher AL-only. Back then I figured I would try to spend a few $ on catchers so I bought the seemingly-reliable Brian McCann and Russell Martin. Both tanked severely last year and helped cost me the title (well those two and an injured, underachieving Elvis Andrus). This season, I threw a few bucks at Garver, and bought Plawecki for $1, then cut Plawecki and picked up the undrafted Roberto Perez when I saw Plawecki was on the wrong end of that job share. Suddenly I have 21 HR from the position on June 11 despite each of them missing a few weeks. I'm not going to try to understand.
