Toronto Blue Jays outfielder slash infielder slash slugger slash heart throb Addison Barger hit his seventh home run Friday night, a 2-run shot in the fourth inning to bring the Jays within one run. Well done! Just like I like my Bargers. Well, not really. I prefer a medium rare. Or rare like finding this […]

Top 40 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 – Catchers
October 23, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 9 Commentsby: Jakkers
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.

Hey, how’s everyone doing? Why am I icing my ankle? I’ll explain: Jumping on a couch for the promotion of Crews, when I fell, spraining my ankle, because I was showing off by doing my own enthusiasm.

“Plug and play. That’s what I say about George Kirby. You plug him in and he plays. Like an Energizer Bunny. There’s no quit there.” This is a tone deaf man explaining George Kirby (3 2/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.42) while an Energizer Bunny goes back and forth over a grave with a […]

Byron Buxton (2-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 15th and 16th homer, hitting .278) went from one of the most exciting players in baseball who couldn’t stay healthy to one of the most boring players who is staying on the field. It must’ve been like, “Hey, I can give you 110%, if percentages went over 100%, […]

Holding hands to eyes, sun blinds me, I turn back and call into the house, “Ma, how long is this break without baseball? Ma?” I realize now that I’m not emerging from my mom’s house. I’m emerging from a bunker. I had been in there longer than I imagined. I pick up a newspaper to […]
