Brian McCann

No one that we've seen thus far, that's for sure. Although an arguement could probably be made that Yogi was better defensively and played more of his games behind the plate.

I think the name you are looking for is Bench.

Yes, take a catcher later in the draft. Hmm, where did McCann go in drafts this year? Yup, late, if he was even drafted at all. I'm liking Russ Martin of the Dodgers as a late catcher pick next year.

I like Russell Martin late in the draft as well. He has a lot of upside!

Russell Martin will be my McCann of this year, next season.

I don't think he has as much power. He might be a Paul LoDuca type player, though. Like

.305
60 R
13 HR
70 RBI

Picked up Marint mid-season and I'm very happy with him. Nobody's mentioned the fact that he's also got 10 SB, and he's done everything in one fewer month )no ABs in April). If the Dodgers move him up in the order and let him continue to steal, he'll challenge to break into that top 3 next year.

In my H2HWS League, I drafted McCann in the 14th Round.

In my 6-team, NL-only League, I drafted Willingham #78 and McCann #79 overall.

Won both Leagues.

Just sayin'
