“McCann doesn't seem to be the player he once was, but hey, he still hit 20 HR last season.”

 

“If you decide to wait on a catcher, you can do worse than taking a chance on McCann, who is targeting a mid-April return from shoulder surgery. He could return top-5 production if his health holds.”

 

“Injured (shoulder)”

“Suspended for most of April ”

“Should injury to a catcher is never a good thing. When the catcher is Brian McCann his value drops tremendously. Brian is still not 100%, and this is a very long baseball season where a shoulder injury will no doubt hurt the power numbers of Brian this season.”

“If there was a fluke last season, Carlos Ruiz and his HR binge was the fluke. 16 HRs was not the story for Ruiz who was injured and missed nearly a month to close out the year, but the fact he has never hit 10 HRs or more throughout his entire career.”

 

“Suspended for 25 Games .”
