I'm going to list this years rankings with projections and an Auction value for mixed Leagues.
These rankings are not intended to give value to
either 1 or 2 catchers formats and if you draft a catcher before the draft hits
pick 100 in single catcher formats you are a fool. Catchers can be had (with
value) with your last pick. Personally I have filled my entire bench before
drafting a catcher in 1 C formats. Just remember catchers selected early end up
in the bottom 20 at year’s end (McCann and Montero) then those not drafted or
near bottom end up top 5 (Pierzynski and Rosario) So be warned, do not take all
Catcher ranking as crucial as other positions. You can definitely win your
league with a poor performing Catcher.

Of course Posey is the Cream here with a wide gap
to the next tier.
The next tier is Napoli to Molina. This group will
give you double digit HR with a ceiling of 22 and 70-85 RBI. Your decision here
is how high of a Batting Average you want. Best value here is V-Mart.
This tier is Montero to Doumit. Still around 15 HR for
each with RBI down to the 60s. Biggest upside is Rosario playing in Coors. Some
thinks he has shot at 30 HR, I do not. I like Doumit in this group with his OF
eligibility and his ability to get 100 more AB then the rest of this group.
The bottom tier is your
10/50 guys with batting averages ranging 60 points apart. This group is why you
punt on catching.
