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

“If you're drafting Mauer, make sure you get your power elsewhere. He can supplement a moderate AVG team, though.”

“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)”

 

“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.”

“Joe is one of those catchers who will get you a great RBI total, along with an award winning batting average. Not to mention nearly 100 Runs. While also throwing in some low double digit HR totals to go with double digit steals. He will make you happy as a fantasy owner.”

 

“bounced back some in 2012 see more then 10 HR this year & a .300 avg (from a catcher is great) ”

 

“On my all bust team for 2013. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”
