Articles Written by: DEREK NELSON
Martin (whose full name is Russell Nathan Coltrane Jeanson Martin, Jr., no kidding) gets the nod for two seemingly obvious reasons: his speed and his age. His legs are noteworthy, as his 21 steals broke the Dodger record for a catcher. His age is also ...
Just a quick sampling of catchers, with the top five to follow a little later today. Predictions?
6. Kenji Johjima, SEA
In his first two major league seasons since playing in Japan, the man they call “Jo” has proven himself to be a top catcher. While ...
I hope these catchers are much more interesting than those I profiled yesterday. Let me check who I’m slated to write about…

9. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, TEX
If you’re looking for proof as to just how much time I spend frivolously looking over baseball ...
It’s a slow news day from a fantasy perspective, but I just wanted to thank you all for reading while we compile our draft kit. Traffic has been high here in recent weeks, in no small part due to the fine work of my colleagues. Keep up the inertia by ...

I just noticed that Yahoo’s fantasy baseball service is once again open for registration, which I’ll sheepishly tell you is the equivalent of pitchers and catchers reporting for our geeky ...
I got antsy and decided to take my first official plunge into the waters of MockDraftCentral. If you don’t yet have an account there, I highly recommend it.
It was my first draft of the year, and as such, I did so without a clearly defined strategy or ...
An ‘ol tip of the cap is in order for those fortunate New Yorkers who are fans of both the Mets and the football Giants. In one short week, you’ve won the Super Bowl and scored the best pitcher in baseball for virtually nothing. Kudos.

1. Albert Pujols, STL
There is no interesting discourse to have as to who is the best first baseman in baseball—it is Pujols by a long-shot—but it may be more interesting to talk about where the former consensus #1 overall pick should go in this year’s ...
