Posada

J. Posada of the Yankees is still suffering from shoulder soreness and will most likely hit the DL sometime soon. At the present time, Posada is waiting for a second opinion to see if he needs something more serious, like surgery. Owners who have Posada should be a little pissed since he does fit into the top 5 catchers in the bigs. You can't really replace Posada and his stats but you can grab a hot catcher off the wire. I have been touting Kurt Suzuki since the beginning of the year. This A's catcher seems to be legit so far, albeit he has cooled off a bit in the past week.

Here are a few other options at the catchers spot.
- Paul Bako - Reds
- Chris Coste - Phillies
- Greg Zaun - Blue Jays
- Yadier Molina - Cardinals
- Ramon Hernandez - Orioles

Don't go out and trade for another catcher just yet. This is a position, in my opinion, where if you didn't have the chance to draft the top 5 catchers you just go and live on the waiver wire searching for hot hitting catchers. At this point, you just sit back and hope Posada comes back sooner rather than later.
