See the end of the article for an explanation of the ratings used here. And a thousand thanks to the folks at OnRoto.com for providing the oh-so-important league ownership data for this article.

 

We got excited this week to write about a bunch of players who are newly available or who have new roles developing. Think Jose Berrios or the replacement(s) for Dee Gordon (see below).

Happy pre-season! This week, we'll examine the market for catchers, and will toss our DH-only guys in as well, since (with one exception), they're also slow as molasses.
