Baker is a fine low-end No. 2 fantasy backstop in two-catcher formats, but his upside is limited. .270-55-10-55-0 in 335 AB

Positives / Upside	Baker quietly (which is the way baseball-related things happen in south Florida) became a serviceable fantasy catcher in 2009, batting .271-59-9-50-0 in 373 AB. He batted .287 after the Break -- at a time of year when most catchers are slowing down. Baker also batted .299 in his rookie year of 2008, so the above-average BA may be here to stay. .280-65-12-60-0 in 385 AB
Negatives / Downside	Baker's defensive skills are less than great, and he'll likely lose playing time to backup Ronnie Paulino as a result. He was only a career .277 hitter in the minors, so a fallback to .250-something would not be at all surprising. .260-45-8-45-0 in 275 AB
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	300
