  • Players To Watch #1

    Cameron Maybin OF Fla, This is his year. The prize player from the trade just a little over a year ago is poised to let lose. Maybin has been on this list before and is still very young. A eventual 5 tool guy he is a must own this year in all formats.

  • Players To Watch #2

    Matt Wieters C Balt, With R. Hernandez being traded to the reds in the NL. Matt is taking over the young pitching staff of the O's. Will hit for AVG. and be solid defensively, look for power numbers to come along as the year and his career progresses.

  • Players To Watch #3

    Neftali Feliz SP Tex, The Rangers needed to start building a pitching staff and no better a young cornerstone than Feliz. He is as close to a sure thing as you can find right now. A power right arm who moved up quickly from low A to Dble A last season will make the jump to the majors this year. If not out of spring training then not to far into the season the Rangers will need to give him a call.

  • Player To Watch #4

    Aaron Poreda SP ChiW, People when they think of the Vasquez trade to the Braves think it was a dump of somoene Ozzie just did not like, BUT there was more too it and this Left hander is the real reason why. Look for huim to get a mid year call up and he will not dissapoint.

  • Player To Watch #5

    Jason Heyward OF Atl, He will make schafer expendable for the Braves if they are in need of mroe pitching. Heyward is there best bat in the minors and a real star in the making. If you can grab him and stash him do so. Heyward wil be up soon enough and there to stay.

  • Player To Watch #6

    Jeremy Hillickson SP T.B., I always try to find that one person most are not talking about, but have the chance to be someone everyone is talking about in a year or two. Hillickson is that guy, with such huge names ahead of him on the prospect epth chart Hillickson gets lost in the mix. I feel he could be the stable force that holds all these great young arms together. Someone to hold onto in AL only leagues and as he proves himself someone to grab in mix'd leagues as well.

2007 Free Agents (catchers)

Posted by rotoenquire on May 23, 2006

Here is a position by position look at next years class of Free Agents to get you ready for next year.

Catchers

J. Posada: (Team Option) Nobody ready in the Yankees minors to come on up.  Also a fan favorite look for him to stay around.

D. Miller: (Team Option & Player Option) Team will excercise this option as well, look for Miller to stay with the Brewers.

J. Valentin:  Look for Valentin to be a hot commodity.  The Reds have enough catcher depth they can afford to let Valentine go.

M. Piazza: (Mutual Option) Look for Piazza to end up in the AL as a DH.

Mike Lieberthal: Retirment a real option, injuries have slowed him a lot.

Ivan Rodriguez: (Void Option)  Could be the #1 catcher free agent out there next year.  If there is an option to void look for Rodriguez to use it.

R. Barajas: Over rated in my book, look for Texas to not resign him giving G. Laird the full time job.

J. Lopez: Now only a DH and with a limited budget in Baltimore look for Lopez to be on a different team.

M. Redmond:  The Twins if smart will keep this guy, but look for him to be a steal option for another team.

G. Zaun:  A solid catcher that can hit, look for the BlueJays to keep him.  If not look for him to be a solid steal for another team.

Other Free Agent Catchers:

H. Blanco, D. Mirabelli, V. Wilson, C. Widger, P. Bako, K. Stinnett, B. Molina, G. Bennett, T. Greene, K. Huckaby, E. Diaz, R. Casanova, M. DiFelice, A. Castillo,  T. Pratt, S. Alomar Jr., E. Perez,

Tomorrow will take a look at First Basemen.
