The baseball season is winding down. Scary, isn't it? It felt like I was just writing up Spring Training sleeper picks. Now I'm trying to help you possibly win a championship or at least first place in your roto league. Sadly, I can't come up with as gripping material as the division/ wild card chases in both the American and National Leagues.

Don't fret, though. After I finish these final 2016 columns, the winter will fly by and we'll be back to this in 2017. Good luck until then. As always, our cutoff is 70% ownership in Fleaflicker leagues.

Week 24 Waiver Wire Catchers

Stephen Vogt (OAK) 62% - You're living week to week here. You need someone to get hot at the right moment. Vogt is showing signs of that, collecting at least a hit in four of his last five games, including Sept. 14. The Oakland backstop has scored some runs in the past couple of games too. His next two series are against Texas and Houston. He'd love to do some damage against both Lone Star State teams. Take a shot on him.

Matt Wieters (BAL) 60% - Wieters has been having a bit of a turnaround lately. He blasted two homers on Sept. 10 and has collected a hit in four of his last 10 games. He's going to be a free agent, so this might be like someone who's cramming for a final when it's three days away after not studying all year. You can take advantage of his desperation. The O's have the Rays and a rematch with the Red Sox on tap.

Yasmani Grandal (LAD) 57% - I'm moving him up to single-catcher status here. He keeps homering, ranking just behind Evan Gattis in catcher long balls. Although he's not that impressive otherwise, just having someone in the catcher slot who could go deep is nice to have. The Dodgers have the truly terrible Diamondbacks and the wobbling Giants coming up, so Grandal could give fans in the bleachers a few more souvenirs this upcoming week.

Welington Castillo (ARI) 56% - Castillo, who was an absolute RBI terror a few weeks ago, is coming around some again. He drove in two runs on Sept. 13 and has gotten a hit in six of his last 10 games. The D-backs backstop could net you some runs too which is really helpful in a two-catcher league. Arizona's facing the Dodgers and the next-to-last place Padres (there's a 1.5 game cushion between San Diego and the Diamondbacks). There could be some serious hitting over the next six games. Scoop him up.

Sandy Leon (BOS) 40% - No, there's no concern over Leon having 0-fers in his past two games. He had hit in five straight before that. Boston's backstop is still raking at an impressive .349 after Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Baltimore. The Red Sox are going to need him to hit since they have important intra-division games against the Yankees and Orioles on the slate. He's going to answer the bell. You could use his help in the No. 2 catcher slot.

Francisco Cervelli (PIT) 29% - Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I remember early this season touting Cervelli as a No. 1 catcher pickup. It might have been the curse of the lucrative extension he signed - he went from hitting like gangbusters to getting hit. Cervelli's still hitting a serviceable .260, but it's been a disappointing season for him and his teammates. He had a hot streak in early September, he could regain that once he gets over his thumb discomfort. Pittsburgh will finish up a four-game series against Philadelphia and then play Cincinnati and Milwaukee over the next week. There's a lot of pitchers he could feast on.
