Before we rattle off our First Base suggestions, we wanted to mention the intentional omission of San Francisco Giants fast rising catcher prospect – Gerald “Buster” Posey from our previously posted - Catchers rankings. Fact is - we made mention of the Giants possible long term catching solution in an article regarding “Baby Giants” just last month.
WaiverSharks is well aware of the multi-talented Buster! But we wanted to share the limelight with some OTHER up and coming back stops who may be heading to the big leagues as early as 2009.
The rising crop of signal callers is really wonderful news to Fantasy owners - who have seen a pretty dismal drop off the past few years once the Top 3- 5 players have been plucked from this position.
SIDENOTE: Another rising catching prospect you may want to tuck away in the back of your collective Fantasy minds is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim’s - Hyun Choi “Hank” Conger. We merely omitted him because we didn’t like having to type the words: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim ! Just Kidding! Truth be told – we feel Mike Napoli deserves the “C” spot in 2009 - and Conger has battled shoulder injuries – so, consider him a “Deep, Deep” Sleeper!
