I'd wait on a backup catcher. I'd probably go with Sonnanstine, Ray, or Penny.

Any chance you could help?

i am assuming this is a keeper league...if so, make sure that your bench slots are filled w/guys w/upsides (alonso, stanton, jzimmerman) who can be used as chips throughout the year and next offseason..do not take players like jkeppinger, bill hall, betemit, scott olsen etc who contribute nothing to your 09 success nor longterm success..

I don't see Ziegler closing much. I would grab Corpas, for 15-20 saves.

Wandy Rodriguez for a sp.

Though he doesn't currently have a home, I like Oliver Perez as it sounds like he and the Mets are close to a deal. Sure, he can be a headache at times, but he is so electric when he's locked in. Considering you are drafting him to round out a rotation, I think you have to gamble on such a high ceiling player. There are a couple catcher 2's I like so I think you can even try and grab Ray next round and then nab catcher a catcher (and then maybe another after that). I really like Max Ramirez if he's dealt. All I read is how disciplined and good he is as a hitter (and the numbers in the minors back that up). I think he has solid potential as a young catcher. I also like Ramon Hernandez for this season in Cinci. Good luck. If you don't mind I'd like some help with mine if you have a second. Thanks in advance.
