Saltalamacchia's 22, and his main problem at catcher seems to be defense- meaning scouts love his bat, which in the SOM format, means vastly more. All he has to do is catch a few games, and not get tagged with a 5e16 +4, and he's a catcher in this league no matter what he is in real life.
I understand the trepidation- its why I took Towles first- but I'll take my chances where I got him.
And as for Soto, qk- are you sure he's not a mirage? He was viewed as a career back-up until he blew up last year, and the numbers he put up were in a hitters' park in a hitters' league.
