“Being a catcher isn't as big of an advantage as it used to be. Is he still worth it?”

 

“He's everything we once hoped Joe Mauer would be”

 

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

 

“When you get Buster Posey, you have the best hitting catcher who will produce nearly every night at a very high level. Buster is the real deal, and is worth a high-draft pick to solidify the catcher position on your roster. Not only does he have 30 HR potential, he will hit over .325.”

“All Contact and No Power makes Nick a very overrated Fantasy Player. Nick was actually on pace to hit 20 HRs in 2012, first time since 2008. Markakis is best known for hitting doubles and being a 2nd half MVP. Nick could have put up a huge season if he would of stayed healthy. Still 20/100 is the best it will get these days for him.”

“There's nothing not to like about Posey. He's head and shoulders ahead of every other Catcher. Plus, there's a good chance he'll get more playing time than any other catcher.”

 

“The clear-cut No. 1 catcher with first-base eligibility is just 25 and should only improve upon last season's MVP-worthy numbers. ”

 
 

“keep waiting for Markakis to take a step forward, but at this point it does not seem likely”
