What catcher would most likely be available in the Free Agent Pool that is great?I have R.Hernandez on DL?

Answer 1

The best possibilities are Barrett...the best hitter of the guys I will mention, Gerald Laird...an unknown for the time being but maybe a top 6 or 7 fantasy catcher this year (good power, potential .300 hitter and will steal 10-15 sacks), Estrada (.300 hitter who was 2nd in the NL last year with 71 RBI....in only 115 games, pretty impressive),and the next 3 guys are worth keeping an eye on. Lo Duca...veteran in a good lineup with no power but hitting in the 2 hole behind Reyes and in front of the power (will score a ton of runs for a catcher), Chris Iannetta ...the best hitting prospect among catchers right now(could hit near .300 with solid power numbers) and Ronny Paulino (no power but a solid hitter, decent fantasy option but the least likely to put up numbers of the guys I've mentioned).

Personally of this group I like Laird...I think the potential is too hard to pass up, solid hitter with good power and a stolen base once in a while are too hard to pass on. Barrett or Estrada would be the safest pick....you know what to expect from him.

Answer 2

Cripes people - give the guy someone who might be a FA!!! Honestly, Josh Bard or Ronny Paulino - with Johnny Estrada or Russ Martin an outside shot. Right now I take Bard, and hope Ramon isn't out TOO long unless Martin is available.

Answer 3

Try Paul Lo Duca or Bengie Molina. You can even try Ronny Paulino, catcher for the pirates. He is going to be a stand-out catcher this year.

Answer 4

Paulino from Pittsburgh looks like a good hitter. Could maybe get Estrada from Milwaukee.

Answer 5

Lo Duca possibly

Answer 6

Estrada, Yadier Molina likely will contribute more

Answer 7

It depends on how many players are in your league. But likely, Kenji Johjima will be on the FA list, and he is a great player.
