See our player profiles for detailed analysis and projections, but here's the low-down on catchers in 2010. DP is the recommended MIXED league draft position. Dollar value is the AL/NL-only league number (basically cut in half in mixed leagues).

TIER 1 (elite)

DP	Lastname	Firstname	$	P	P2
13	Mauer	Joe	39	2
29	Martinez	Victor	33	2	3
42	McCann	Brian	30	2

TIER 2 (star)

94	Wieters	Matt	22	2
133	Montero	Miguel	19	2
134	Posada	Jorge	19	2
140	Suzuki	Kurt	18	2
141	Soto	Geovany	18	2

We love the strategy of selecting 2 catchers from this tier in 2-catcher leagues, giving you quite an advantage at the C2 position, though we're not keen on the age/injury risk presented by Posada. At the least, try and get one from here and one from Tier 3.

TIER 3 (solid)

155	Napoli	Mike	17	2
156	Doumit	Ryan	17	2
217	Molina	Bengie	12	2
218	Molina	Yadier	12	2
226	Ruiz	Carlos	11	2
227	Pierzynski	A.J.	11	2
228	Hernandez	Ramon	11	2	3
241	Iannetta	Chris	9	2

TIER 4 (not as solid)

242	Martin	Russell	9	2
309	Shoppach	Kelly	6	2
358	Posey	Buster	4	2
359	Clement	Jeff	4	2
380	Baker	John	3	2
381	Saltalamacchia	Jarrod	3	2

TIER 5 (iffy)

382	Flores	Jesus	3	2
383	Avila	Alex	3	2
384	Santana	Carlos	3	2
385	Hundley	Nicholas	3	2
407	Torrealba	Yorvit	2	2

409	Laird	Gerald	2	2
410	Olivo	Miguel	2	2
411	Rodriguez	Ivan	2	2
412	Navarro	Dioner	2	2
413	Towles	J.R.	2	2
414	Teagarden	Taylor	2	2
415	Buck	John	2	2
416	Moore	Adam	2	2
417	Castro	Jason	2	2
