Christian Vazquez A Solid Fantasy Option At Catcher
3 years agoBoston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez enjoyed a solid season at the plate in 2021. Doing most of his damage further down the order in a deep Boston lineup, Vazquez hit .258 with a .308 on-base percentage, six home runs, and eight stolen bases in 498 plate appearances last season. He figures to once again share some playing time with Kevin Plawecki behind the dish but should continue to be a solid fantasy option at catcher in part thanks to his ability to chip in with stolen bases. Vazquez has stolen at least four bases in each season going back to 2017. In fact, during that span, only J.T. Realmuto has more stolen bases among catchers. Boston's starting catcher currently has an ADP of 208.86 per NFBC, as the 11th catcher off the board. That seems about right for the veteran, who should continue to benefit from hitting in a quality Red Sox lineup.
