BALLER MOVE: Monitor in deeper leagues, add in two-catcher leagues
OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: The sporadic playing time makes him an add in only the deepest of leagues, but in that Jays lineup, he has more value than most backup catchers. Dioner Navarro missed some time due to a DL stint. Since his return, he has been playing pretty well.
Over his last seven games, Navarro has gone 7-for-19 (.368 BA) with four runs scored, two HR, and three RBI. Make no mistake, Russell Martin will still get the lion's share of playing time. Should anything happen to Martin though, Navarro would obviously become much more valuable.
The former Yankee prospect also gets some value because he is a switch-hitter and could see some time as the DH. It's not a sure thing by any means, but if he keeps hitting, he could squeeze out some more playing time. Also, let's not forget that just last year he hit 12 HR as the starter and drove in 69 RBI.
