3. Jonathan Lucroy, Texas Rangers

Jonathan Lucroy is a safe bet to finish within the top three of catchers. He hit 11 home runs in only 47 games while playing for Texas a season ago. It is one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in the league and he can also DH some games which can save his legs.

A career average of .284 for an OBP of .345 gives him a pretty good fantasy floor for the year. If he can bat in the top five in the lineup, he’ll put up good numbers all year.
