To start off the new year we'll be listing the top players for 2010 at each position. First up is the catcher position where we will look at the top 25 catchers for league needing two catchers.
1. Joe Mauer - That was quite a season last year, but it's tough to judge where the power will be in 2010. His ISO jumped nearly 100 points last season and a regression should be expected.
2. Victor Martinez - After accounting for the better lineup in Boston and his moving past the poor season in 2008 he is again one of the top catchers on the board.
3. Brian McCann - He is becoming the model of consistency behind the dish posting 20/60/90/4/.290 on average the past 4 seasons.
4. Matt Wieters - The hype machine rolls on for Wieters and his power makes him one of the top 5 this year.
5. Jorge Posada - He still can hit 20 homers in Yankee Stadium and is in the best offensive lineup in baseball.
6. Geovany Soto - Injuries and poor BABIP plagued Soto in 2009, but he will be ready to go next year.
7. Russell Martin - It looks like his season of 19 homers and 21 steals is a long forgotten past, but he still supplies a surprising amount of speed for a position lacking it.
8. Kurt Suzuki - He took a big step last year, but he stays behind Martin until he can repeat those numbers.
9. Mike Napoli - Still can't understand what the Angels are doing with him as he is due for more than 432 PA, but you can't count on that yet. You can count on 20 homers though.
10. Miguel Montero - The batting average seems to be from a bit of BABIP luck and might fool some others. He is a solid choice if he falls late enough.
