After we went over the top 10 for 2025 fantasy baseball and the top 20 for 2025 fantasy baseball in our (my) 2025 fantasy baseball rankings, it’s time for the meat and potatoes rankings. Something to stew about! Hop in the pressure cooker, crank it up to “Intense” and let’s rock with the top 20 catchers for 2025 fantasy baseball. […]

We are three weeks into the Dynasty Keepers for 2025 and today we turn our attention to catchers. This is a position that is mind-numbingly weak as there is not a lot of quality depth.
Few catchers will help you across the board. You may get a catcher who has power but kills your average and on-base percentage. Or you may get a catcher who hits well and gets on base but has no power at all. The average major league hitter this season posted a slash line of .240/.309/.394. Of the 53 catchers I looked at, their average slash line was .238/.300/.381. Basically, this is a position that is below the average player across the board.
Only six catchers hit 20 or more homers and only one reached 30. Only three catchers drove in more than 90 runs. The ones who can do it all are worth their weight in gold as they will give you a huge advantage at that position against opponents if you are lucky enough to land one of these unicorns.
Anyway, let’s get to the rankings.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Did Chris Sale just get another start? Did Spencer Schwellenbach just pick up another start? Who goes on Friday? Who on Sunday? Does any of this matter? Does anything matter? I don’t know, tee bee aitch, but let’s see where we’re at. Braves/Mets series was cancelled and they’re tentatively scheduled for a Monday doubleheader. That […]

Tarik Skubal (7 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits, zero walks, 13 Ks, ERA at 2.37) pitched like the ace he is. This is not shortchanging that (which is what I say when I’m about to shortchange someone), but the Reds’ lineup is hilariously awful. They have a .150 hitter hitting 5th, .183 hitter in the […]

“Hey, I was just walking through this factory outlet mall when I came upon your store. I heard of Big ‘n Tall shops before but this is my first time ever in a Tight ‘n Rumpy. It seems like all you sell is…pants? Is that right? What’s that? Oh, excuse me, all you sell is […]

You’re not Grimace! Are you freakin’ Barney? “That’s right, boys and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Heston Kjerstad went 2-for-4, as he was re-called up by the O’s to not play. I mean, they didn’t say that, but how does the old saying go: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m still blaming you. Fool me five, six, seven times by calling up rookies and never playing […]

This was me seeing if Shane Baz was ready to be stashed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…and so on as I counted the months since his surgery. Do you count September of 2022 because that was when he had the surgery or do you start counting with October? Do you count June of 2024 because […]

Walking down the street of Pittsburgh, talking to Yinzers to get their thoughts on Paul Skenes‘s debut, and the people were chatty with anecdotes. I told them about how Skenes could be the best pitcher in baseball and they told me about when they saw Dale Berra and Dave Parker pull out a baggie of […]

Sometimes it is easy as a fantasy baseball writer to get caught up in creative writing puns. However, this week as we frame up our hitter profiles, this is going to be a serious column. As we sit in mid-May, we finally have enough data to really understand what is signaling results of our favorite fantasy hitters. This week, we dig into what once was a thin position behind the plate but has in recent years become a sneaky spot to receive value. We are of course talking about the catcher position spanning the spectrum from aging veterans like Salvador Perez and young stars like Adley Rutschman. As we dig into our hitter profiles this week, we are digging for the underlying signs of change that may have been masked by early season sample sizes. There is the good, the bad and those that have crossed us up so far this season. Let’s get to the run down in this rendition of our Hitter Profiles before the puns get away from us.

At the Consumer Electronics Show this past year in Vegas, Rockies manager Bud Black was there showcasing his newest sunglasses, they’re called ProspBlockers. Here, I’ll let you hear it directly from the man on his infomercial. “Sick of seeing upside? When you look forward are you sick of ‘looking forward to better things?’ I know […]
