I have also thought about him perhaps not playing full-time again this year. But I don't think it's likely thta he doesn't get at least 450-50 ABs, which would make him pretty valuable. Also thinking about AJ, Hernandez or Martinez. I think I can get anyone of these guys after round 15. Piazza, Lopez, Pudge, Kendall and Posada are sure to be drafted and I also think people will be looking at Lieberthal, Varitek and possibly Barrett and Mauer. That's seven catchers that I'm positive will be on someone's team. We only have a ten team league, so I'm betting that some or all of the guys I want will drop late.
Get Martinez. Best advice anyone has given you so far this winter I bet.

Thanks for the Lecroy info.
Craig Wilson, another player whose value took a hit recently.
1a) Wilson and LeCroy are not going to get enough at bats this season to be viable options at catcher.
1b) Your team will be at a disadvantage if you are going into the season with either one of them as your starting catcher (regardless of the kind of deal you got on them).
2) They are both being given grossly inflated values in a number of big fantasy sites.
