Isiah Kiner-Falefa Will Be One of Rangers Two Catchers
6 years agoTexas Rangers catcher and utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa will remain with the Rangers once they head home following spring training. On Tuesday, fellow catchers Jet Bandy and Jose Trevino were optioned to minor league camp, leaving Kiner-Falefa as just one of two catchers remaining in big league camp. However, it looks as though initially Kiner-Falefa will be the back up catcher, but could get to play somewhere close to every other day, as he did in 2018. This spring Kiner-Falefa is hitting an impressive .455, but for fantasy purposes the zero home runs this spring is a major concern. Kiner-Falefa does not have enough upside to be worth drafting outside of two catcher AL-only leagues in 2019.
