POSITION REPORT: Catchers

Genaro Chavarria (Talent: 6 contact / 6 gap / 3 home run / 6 eye / 6 avoid strikeouts) is 29, 2 stars (2*), and was a 2nd round pick in 2004. 2009 was his fourth (and best) season, and he posted a .243/.319/.351 line in 296 ABs. Nice arm defensively, and he only makes $200k, so he might be my starting catcher and #8 hitter. If he stays on the 25-man roster all season, he'll be arbitration-eligible after this season for the first time.

Ricky Fitzgerald (Tal 6/6/5/4/6) is 25yo and an OK defensive sub, with a .989 fielding percentage with a 5 arm. Unfortunately, his career line is 202/249/549, and he was 219/283/330 in 279 ABs last season. Under contract for $620k through 2012, I’m going to try to trade him.

Brian Procopio (Tal 7/7/5/10/7) was the 7th overall pick in last year’s draft, and could be a stud. His first season in A ball, at 21, resulted in 266/395/324 in 451 ABs. No power, but 99 BBs is encouraging. He’ll start at A again, and hopefully progress with better coaching. He can also play 1B, but I have no plan to move him.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Procopio is obviously the future. Depending on what’s available in Free Agency, I may let Chavarria hold down the fort until Procopio is ready.
