Barajas moves to the healthier (one hopes) Mets from a team that was powered by two guys (Adam Lind and Aaron Hill). It's true he moves to Citifield which suppresses home runs (Rod's primary fantasy skill), but he enters a situation with only limited competition for playing time (Omir Santos) and will get to play half his games on the road. Even if he hits half the 19 home runs he did last season that's worth a more than just a couple of bucks. .240-40-12-60-0. 425ABs

Positives / Upside	Incredible Power for itty-bitty price for an end game catcher. Mets are healthy, Barajas should get good PT, half the games are outside of Citi. .250-40-12-60-1. 425ABs
Negatives / Downside	Will lose time to Omir Santos and if Santos can prove that he deserves regular playing time he may be relegated to the bench. Barajas derives all of his fantasy value from his power game, precisely the thing Citi hurts the most. .235-20-8-25-250ABs.
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	412
