With the end of the 2011 baseball season comes the preparations for the 2012 fantasy baseball season. It is never too early to get a jump on your competition and start considering your strategy for next year. If you are involved in a dynasty league (or keeper league), all the more reason to review each position and decide on who your keepers will (or should) be.
When considering the top fantasy catchers for 2012, it is definitely worth taking a look at the top ten catchers for the 2012 season and determining the value of each of these backstops from a fantasy baseball perspective.
1) Carlos Santana (CLE) –
Hitting in the middle of the Tribe's batting order and delivering 27 HR and 97 BB speak volumes about Santana's ability at the dish. A low BA (.239) is the one area he can improve upon. As he continues to show discipline at the plate, the average should come around. In year 3, he should be the class of the position.
2) Victor Martinez (DET) –
With 26 games behind the plate, V-Mart maintains his catcher status for 2012. That is great news for fantasy owners as he should continue to collect the lion's share of the Tigers' DH at bats. The lessened playing time at catcher means less chance of injury and more chance of delivering key offensive fantasy stats.
