In my dynasty league, I did just that, trading picks 17 and 18 as well as Alvarez to move up to 1 (also getting pick 28 and Schafer) to select Posey. Smoak is a better hitter, but Posey's catcher eligibility gives him the win in my eyes.
I'm also a fan of Santana and M. Ramirez. I know Ramirez had a rough start to the season, but Im blaming that on missing ST and sitting on the bench during the WBC.

Big fan of Santana too, if he can stick behind the plate.

Obviously thats a big if, but I think he at least makes it up as a Catcher, and any change would be later in the career. I know I am in the process of talking his owner into cutting him and keeping an overrated (imho) Skipworth.
Bryan Anderson (Stl - C) Jesus Montero (NYY - C) Buster Posey (SF - C) Carlos Santana (Cle - C) Jeff Clement (Sea - C) Kyle Skipworth (Fla - C) Jason Castro (Hou - C) J.P. Arencibia (Tor - C) Devin Mesaroco (Cin - C) Hank Conger (LAA - C) Mitch Canham (SD - C) Tony Sanchez (Boston College - C) Josh Phegley (Indiana - C)
Under used MLB catchers... Miguel Montero (Ari- C) Jeff Mathis (LAA - C) George Kottaras (Bos - C) Taylor Teagarden (Tex - C) Lou Marson (Phi - C) Angel Salome (Mil - C) J.R. Towles (Hou - C)
The catching depth looks very strong for the next 5 - 7 years.
If the Yanks keep him at Catcher, I'll go with Jesus Montero for fantasy purposes. His power and advanced hitting at his age is impressive, and I don't have to take anything away defensively from him since it doesn't matter.
