Episode notes

Is the catcher position really back? Seven of the Top-12 catchers in H2H leagues were waiver wire additions last season. Is that normal?

Would we rather have Realmuto in the fifth round or Sanchez in the seventh? ... Onto our favorite sleepers at the catcher position, why does Scott favor Danny Jansen (18:00)? How good can Sean Murphy be? Is Yadier Molina really a sleeper? ... Mitch Garver already broke out last season but Scott still likes him in 2020 (25:30). Can Omar Narvaez get even better in Milwaukee? ... When it comes to busts at the catcher position, Scott is worried about Carson Kelly's playing time (34:!2). Is the floor too low for Will Smith?

Our next group of catchers involves Salvador Perez and WHY DOESN'T HE GET MORE LOVE (50:11)? Who do the guys prefer between Kelly, Vazquez, Narvaez, and Molina (53:30)? For the later-round guys, Sean Murphy is a favorite (58:22) along with Buster Posey and Francisco Mejia. ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
