The last two weeks I have run down the Top 50 Dynasty Relivers and Top 100 Starting Pitchers for 2027 Fantasy Baseball. This week we start our trip around the infield and our first position is catcher.

Let’s be honest, this is not an overly deep position. Once you get out of the top 10, things start to drop quickly. Once you are outside the top 20, it is almost time to blindly throw darts at the pictures of catchers on the wall and selecting the player the dart landed on. Part of this is just the lack of great hitting catchers. It has always been a demanding position, so the top catchers are highly coveted and then it is just mix and match from there.

But another reason for the drop in quality as we move down the rankings is due to the fact that many team basically play two catchers, meaning you don’t get one guy that you can plug in every day and be happy. You may have a decent catcher, but he’s out there only 100 games, meaning you have to find a second catcher or have no one starting at catcher the day yours is on the bench.

So the strategy is simple when it comes to the catcher position – get the top catcher who plays nearly every day! Simple, right? I know, everyone in your league is trying to do that. But if you do have an everyday catcher who helps you in at least two categories, you are ahead of most others else in your league.

Now, let’s get on with the rankings.

O’s have a genuine Jackson dilemma on their hands as Baltimore’s fill-in second baseman slash heartthrob is up to a Jackson five homers with this huge bomb in the eighth to give the Orioles the lead Friday night.

The Baltimore Orioles made a huge stride in bolstering their starting pitching staff Friday trading for Rays starter Zach Eflin. About Eflin time! Eflin has struggled with consistency all season long with an unsightly 4.09 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and underwhelming 87/13 K/BB, but there have been flashes of the pitcher we saw in 2023 (3.50 […]
