The Trade Market for Ben Revere

In 2015, Toronto had left field problems – Michael Saunders couldn’t get healthy, Dalton Pompey failed to immediately hit MLB pitching, and Chris Colabello and Danny Valencia proved incapable of catching enough flyballs.

You’ll have to just take my word for it, but I’m pretty good at fantasy baseball. Here are my catcher rankings for redraft leagues. For hitters, my rankings are made for leagues that include OBP and SLG. Think of a 7×7 league with traditional 5×5 stats plus OBP and SLG for batters. For (almost) each player I’ve included rough estimations of what to expect statistically, what the upside might be, and what their CC projection by Chris...
