2022 Catcher & UT-only Review
Eno and DVR discuss the 2022 catcher and utility-only hitter pool. If two-catcher leagues remain a standard, should you push for top-end talent at the position in the early rounds? Can Yasmani Grandal stay healthy with less time behind the plate? Was there enough value in the middle and later rounds for second catchers? On the UT-only side, is there anything left for Shohei Ohtani to unlock? And, can J.D. Martinez adjust his approach and get to more consistent pull-side power?\n\nRundown\n6:11 A Plea for One-Catcher Leagues\n11:49 2022 Bust: Yasmani Grandal\n14:09 Strong Returns Overall From Early Catchers\n19:10 Prioritizing Top-End Options?\n27:41 Finding Value Later\n35:06 Other Catchers of Interest?\n39:42 Shohei Ohtani's Brilliant 2022 Campaign\n49:42 Bryce Harper Joins UT-only Club; Surgery On Tap\n52:08 Can J.D.
