These 2013 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings get me a little excited. The position itself is one of the most interesting in all of sports. A baseball catcher has to know offense, defense and pitching. They’re the only position player that faces the entire field. They’re one of the most important players on the team – and they have to wear a mask. Fantasy Baseball catchers, however, just need to know how to score you points like crazy.
Catchers are also one of the smartest players on the field, with many eventually becoming Major League Baseball managers – yet they wear equipment that has been called, “The Tools of Ignorance.”
Catchers are awesome. (And yes, if you couldn’t guess, I played catcher in high school, so I’m a little biased.)
This past year was actually an UP year for Fantasy Baseball Catchers. It was actually the best year at the position since 2008, when Joe Mauer, Brian McCann, Russell Martin, Geovany Soto and Ryan Doumit were the top dogs.
In 2012, we had four catchers score 400 Fantasy Head-to-Head points, which is again, the highest since 2008. But we also had 10 players score 300 and 22 catchers score at least 200 points. Those numbers are higher than any of the past five years.
As you begin to peruse the 2013 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings, understand that this is a position with some depth. But, unfortunately, those crazy people that invented Rotisserie Baseball deemed that you had to start two catchers in your lineup. The position is deep – but you want to make sure you grab two top 20 players and not chance beyond that.
Also, are you playing in a one-catcher mixed Rotisserie league? Here’s my take on why that’s just crazy-talk!
There are a few changes you’ll want to track, like:
