The catcher position is terrible, I don't think you need me to tell you that. Unless you have one of the few stud catchers, it's been a rough ride. But one guy that I think should be owned in more leagues is Welington Castillo. I liked Castillo coming into the year, I loved the idea of how his power would play in Camden Yards, and honestly, so far this year he's been pretty solid. Wednesday night Castillo went 1-4, 1 HR, 1 R, 5 RBI hitting his first career grand slam. Now, Castillo is batting .292 on the year, which has been a pleasant surprise, but that average isn't real for two reasons. First, a .357 BABIP, and second, a 23.9% strikeout rate. That average is going to come down, but it'll probably come down in the .260s area, and he still has the power to end the year with 20 home runs, especially playing in Camden Yards and all the other hitter-friendly parks in the AL East. I will say that, in an OBP league, he's rough to own, as he's only walking 3.5% of the time, which is ridiculous. But as long as Castillo stays healthy, he's going to produce, and he's in a great situation to do it. He's available in around 75% of ESPN leagues, and if you've been riding the Jonathan Lucroy or Russell Martin train this year, you might want to take a look at him.
Let's take a look at some of the other performances from Wednesday night:
