BALLER MOVE: Add in two catcher leagues
OWNED IN: 7% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: After missing all of 2015 due to Tommy John Surgery, Christian Vazquez has now been back on the Red Sox active roster for two weeks. Since his promotion, and coinciding demotion of prospect Blake Swihart, the Puerto Rican product has caught 10 games for the Sox. He is only hitting .222/.282/.306 during this span but has three doubles and five runs scored.
Vazquez will continue to see a healthy share of time behind the plate for the hot-hitting Red Sox, as his pitch framing and defensive prowess are considered to be elite among the league. The offensive potential will never be up to par with that of Swihart, but he possesses modest pop and will have plenty of run scoring possibilities in the Red Sox lineup. They currently rank sixth in the MLB in scoring. Vazquez makes for a decent second catcher and a great replacement for owners of Kyle Schwarber, Miguel Montero, and Swihart.
