2008 Fantasy Preview: Catchers

Studs:
Victor Martinez - Best hitting catcher in the game right now
Russell Martin - Catchings only 5 category threat
Brian McCann - Will rebound from last year, great RBI potential in stacked lineup
Joe Mauer - Should have good BA, health is an issue

Sleepers:
Geovany Soto - Rookie should provide solid pop and BA, 20 HR potential
J.R. Towles - Great contact hitter, chance for double digit SB and HR
R. Doumit - Will have to share time with Paulino and OF Nady, but huge power potential
C. Ruiz - Solid power and he won't kill your BA like many other Catchers

Busts:
Jorge Posada - Will be solid, but last years numbers mean someone will draft him too early
Jarrod Saltalamacchia - Will lose ABs to Laird, and is getting drafted way too high
Ivan Rodriguez - The BA is slipping, all other numbers have slipped, but people will get him because he is pudge
Josh Bard- Will hit for solid BA but won't produce in any other category, plus he may lost some ABs to Barrett
