Top 11 Catchers By VORP

Following Geovany Soto's inside-the-park HR last night, I was curious to see whether or not he is now the top catcher in fantasy baseball. I used Baseball prospectus' VORP statistic to rank the catchers so far this season.

The case can be made that Soto is the best. I have little doubt he will hold on to a Top 4 ranking going into 2009 fantasy baseball drafts.
