Chris Iannetta

The Rockies, inexplicably, have recalled top catching prospect Chris Iannetta from AAA Colorado Springs.

He is a must-grab in all keepers leagues. Any catcher with an OPS greater than .900 would qualify.

How much he plays is a question, but given the 2nd catchers on most NL-only squads, he is an improvement based solely on futre value alone.

He has walked 48 times while striking out 55 in 307 ABs. With 21 doubles, 4 triples and 14 HRs, he is poised to grab the Colorado Catching Stud title that Ben Petrick failed to live-up to.
