5.09)Hammer - Victor Martinez Util

V-Mart's a catcher. Played 26 games there in 2011, his last season. In any league worth its salt, he should be qualifying as a C. I believe CBS is foolishly cutting his C eligibility, but that makes no sense to me. They didn't cut Kendrys Morales' 1B-elig. heading into last year despite his missing all of 2011.

That works for me.

Yes, I think Catcher is appropriate, assuming that Yahoo does the same.

He should be a catcher.

[Erik]

Agreed. By that logic, everyone who played exclusively in the minors last year should also be DH-only.

This may be the hangup, and we likely won't know until Yahoo opens for business. We may get a hint when their writers release their rankings, but I don't see that they have yet.

[Piney Boy]

Yahoo should be ready right after the Super Bowl next week. We will find out what they have done then.

As for now I have no problem having Victor Martinez slotted in the C spot.

Thanks Paul, hopefully they listen.

ETA: Guess I should have read the link first, grrr.

damn you Knuckles! Sale was mine! Mine I say!

And Jon -- GREAT pick with Aroldis. If he goes 180 innings this year, look out!

[Silentmist]

Man, I got crushed in this last turn. I had like 8 pitchers on my list and they all went...

[phin]

thought 1-2-3 was spot on. also thought buster posey slid a bit. he's a first round talent at catcher.

Catchers tend to slide in one catcher leagues in my experience. Though in a 20-team league, he probably did slide a bit.

That's funny. I could have sent similar messages to just about everyone. I had Sale, Chapman and Shields targeted. First time someone I targeted actually fell.

[joncarlos]

Willingham falling that far is criminal. I almost took him over Laroche like 35 picks ago.
