McCann is a solid and reliable producer, but may not be worth his price in single-catcher leagues. There are several backstops available late in the draft that are capable of launching 20 bombs and knocking in 70-80 runs. Don't overpay for McCann, but he is a true "worry free" option as your Fantasy catcher. .290-65-25-90-3 in 500 AB

Positives / Upside	McCann followed up his stellar 2008 season with another strong effort in '09, smacking out 21 homers and plating 94 RBI while batting .281. Though he has played four full seasons in the bigs, McCann is still just 26 years old and should continue to produce at a high level for years to come. His 94 RBI last year was a career best, and he is a virtual lock to be right around 20 homers and 90 ribbies again in 2010. .300-75-28-100-5 in 520 AB
Negatives / Downside	While that .281 last year looks nice, it represented a 20-point decline from the .301 McCann batted in 2008. His walk rate, slugging percentage and OPS all took a sharp drop as well -- leading many to wonder whether he'll ever approach the .333 he stroked out back in 2006. .275-55-20-80-0 in 470 AB
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	43
