Replacing Montero WHIR

[afern401]

Like many owners, I am scrambling to replace Miguel Montero after he went down with a knee injury. The FA pool has nothing much in the way of catchers so I am looking to make a trade. I have my eye on Geovany Soto, Mike Napoli, Bengie Molina, Victor Martinez and Matt Weiters. Soto, Napoli and Molina can probably be had on the cheaper side, while Martinez and Weiters will come at a heavy price. Given my roster, what kind of deal should I offer for one of the catchers I mentioned?

This team is in a 5x5 scoring, 12 team Head to Head league. We use OBP instead of BA.

C: Miguel Montero
1B: Albert Pujols
2B: Dan Uggla
3B: Mark Reynolds
SS: Elvis Andrus
OF: Shin- Soo Choo, Jason Kubel, Juan Rivera
Util: Kendry Morales
Bench: Gordon Beckham, Nick Swisher

SP: Felix Hernandez, Adam Wainwright, Chad Billingsley, Mark Buehrle, Phil Hughes, Ryan Rowland- Smith, CJ Wilson
RP: Leo Nunez, Ryan Franklin, Chris Perez
DL: Ted Lilly

I'm on the same boat, I picked up Borajas in on league. In my other league I had Ruiz on the bench and picked up Snyder once I freed up a spot DL'ing Montero.

Not an owner of Montero but would absolute hate if I were to pick up someone like Barajas. Personally, I'd rather go for consistency in someone like John Baker or even if worst come to worst, Miguel Olivo or Jason Kendall. These players are generally unowned in most deep leagues. Just putting it out there.

Also in the same boat and am going with Pierzynski as a placeholder. I wouldn't make a big trade until we here the extent of Montero's injury tomorrow after he is evaluated.

I would hound the waiver wire, too.

If you can't, consider snagging someone like Russell Martin on the cheap. Nick Swisher is a pretty valuable commodity on your bench. Try selling him high and shopping him for a middle-end catcher.

help me out?

Ok, i traded Hughes for Napoli. At this point im second guessing myself, I should have just dropped Montero and added Olivio. Oh well, long season.

Olivo is sharing time with iannetta

I think the move you made is probably fine, though like the others, I'd have fished the FA list.

Thanks for the help,

I like Kurt Suzuki alot he plays everyday and should be good for 15 homers, I would try to move Hughes for him, since he is merely a name player and a Yankee but not much of a pitcher yet ( as I see probably not until he leaves the Yankees)

I like Clement's value as a cheap Montero or Napoli replacement. He's pretty widely available, and he'll have 1B eligibility eventually as well.
