12 team h2h Auction mixed keeper league, 5x5 Scoring.
Salary Cap is $1000 and draft 25 players (2 at each Infield, 5 OF, 8 Starters, 2 closers). Start (each week) - 1 C, 1b,2b, SS, 3b, 3 of, dh- any hitter, 5 pitchers, 1 closer
Mauer is only top catcher that is available for auction went for $70 last year -- not sure what his value should be this year - might be inflated despite the injuries. McCann, Soto, Doumit, Martin, V-mart, Iannetta have all been kept.
I'm looking for Catchers that are sleepers and could finish in top 7-8 for the season.
Napoli - shoulder injury but might also DH Bengie Molina (34 but hits cleanup) - Sandoval steal starts ?? Wieters- probably overvalued ? Ramon Hernandez - homer friendly stadium with Reds Saltalamchia -- alot of competition with teagarden, max ramirez) Varitek Posada
I target Ramon Hernandez alot this year. He's still got power left and moving to GABP is a bonus. Posada should also bounceback as he's going to be healthier. Wieters and Sandoval should outperform those 2 but they aren't sleepers at all.
Hal·la·day, n. 1. every fifth day in Philadelphia. 2. a day of rest for the bullpen. 3. innings eater. 4. doc. 5. ace.
You want Wieters and Sandoval, but if you can't get to those two then Jeff Clement would be a very good choice. He's got a nice power bat for a catcher and will see some time at DH, which is a good thing for his legs.
For a deeper sleeper, look at John Baker (FLA). Won't hit for too much power, but he put up .299 avg w/ 5 HR and 32 R, 32 RBI in 200 ab. Could be had cheap.
Im pretty sure Sandoval is playing third this year, and molina should be the Clear #1 catcher, But i still like Wieters and Sandoval (just dont expect Sandoval to keep his C status for next season) maybe im wrong but im pretty sure Sandoval isnt playin catcher, might want to monitor that
Ramon Hernandez, I think he is gonna have a top 10 possibly 6 or 7. He will hit for power and will get some nice RBI opps. I plan on playing him in alot of leagues.
