Catchers are overrated in fantasy baseball. There is a marginal difference between Mauer and McCann for fantasy purposes.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Except in AVG, Mauer beat him by about 80 pts.
I do know what you are saying though.

Right, Mauer also had 50 more AB's, and you would have expected him to get a shit ton more... maybe he will this season after getting that contract. I don't like overpaying for catchers. It's one of the positions that I usually place the lowest priority on. Too many catchers get injured, and they take at least one day off a week. Look at the SOI draft results... I'll gladly take Posada in the 16th round and beef up at other positions rather than taking someone like Mauer in the 3rd. The difference between them isn't THAT great on paper.

What about the intangibles? Fantasy baseball isn't played on paper.

wait...
