1. Russell Martin, Los Angeles Dodgers
A catcher who can run? Now I've seen everything! Martin is a consistent presence in the middle of L.A.'s lineup, and he's the one catcher with enough speed and power to join the 20/20 club (that's 20 homers and 20 steals).

2. Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves
He was tied for the lead among catchers in home runs (23) and second in RBIs (87) last season. And he was one of only two catchers to hit .300 (.301). And considering McCann is only 25 years old, he's only going to get better.

3. Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins
He led all catchers in batting average last season (.328), and Mauer will have a shot at the A.L. batting title. But where's the power? Mauer has only topped 10 homers in a season once in his career.

4. Geovany Soto, Chicago Cubs
So Geo slowed down a little late last season. But he still has big-time power for a catcher. Soto tied with Brian McCann for the most HRs by a backstop last season (23).

5. Ryan Doumit, Pittsburgh Pirates
Doumit has never gotten much of a chance because he's weak defensively. But the Pirates seem to have settled on him as their starting catcher. There are no problems with his bat. In 116 games last season, he hit .318 with 15 homers and 69 RBIs.

6. Victor Martinez, Cleveland Indians
Will V-Mart ever be the same? At this time last season, he was the unquestioned Number 1 fantasy catcher. Then, he completely bombed in an injury-filled 2008. Martinez had just two homers in 266 at-bats last season after hitting 25 homers with 114 RBIs in 2007.

7. Jorge Posada, New York Yankees
The big question is whether Posada can return form after a major shoulder injury in 2008. In 2007, he hit .338 with 20 homers and 90 RBIs. But 37 is pretty old for an MLB catcher.

8. Bengie Molina, San Francisco Giants
Trivia: Who led all catchers in RBIs last season? If you guessed Bengie Molina, you're right. And, well, you should have guessed Bengie Molina, because his name is right at the top of this write-up! But beware with Bengie. He has a long history of injuries, and there's not a lot of support for him in the Giants lineup.

9. Mike Napoli, Los Angeles Angels
Napoli might have the most pure power of any catcher in baseball. He hit 20 homers in just 227 at-bats last season. But Napoli is also a strikeout machine, so he probably won't be able to match his solid batting average of last season (.273). He also will likely split time with Jeff Mathis again this season.

10. Kelly Shoppach, Cleveland Indians
Shoppach emerged as a potential star last season, hitting 21 home runs in just 352 at-bats. The Indians are trying to find more playing time for the power-hitting backstop, which could mean a 25-HR season in 2009. 

11. Matt Wieters, Baltimore Orioles
He's the best prospect in baseball. Wieters might start 2009 in the minors, but there's little doubt he's ready to hit major league pitching. Once he adjusts to the big leagues, the switch-hitting Wieters could be the best offensive catcher in baseball since Mike Piazza.

12. Chris Iannetta, Colorado Rockies
Iannetta gets a nice offensive boost playing his home games in hitter-friendly Colorado. He isn't a great offensive talent, but if things go right, he could match last season's totals of 18 HRs and 65 RBIs.

13. Ramon Hernandez, Cincinnati Reds
Hernandez still has a decent amount of power. And now that he's playing his home games in homer-friendly Cincinnati, he could emerge as a 20-home run threat. But keep in mind, Hernandez is 32 and injury-prone.

14. Dioner Navarro, Tampa Bay Rays
So he doesn't hit for much power. But Navarro has shown the ability to hit for average (.295) and he can get on base (.349 on-base percentage). He could get a good amount of RBI opportunities in the Rays' strong lineup.

15. Jesus Flores, Washington Nationals
He has stepped up as Washington's top catcher, and Flores has what it takes to post solid offensive numbers. He hit .256 with eight homers and 59 RBIs in just 301 at-bats last season.

16. Kurt Suzuki, Oakland Athletics
Suzuki is emerging as a solid offensive catcher in Oakland. Hehit .279 and scored 54 runs last season. The 25-year-old Hawaiian should improve in his second full season.

17. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Texas Rangers
Once a top prospect, Salty's first year with the Rangers didn't quite go as planned. He hit just .253 with three homers in half a season for Texas. Still, it's important to remember that he's only 23 years old. Salty could emerge as a strong offensive catcher in his second season in Texas.

18. A.J. Pierzynski, Chicago White Sox
Pierzynski has been consistently solid for the past six seasons, recording at least 10 homers and 50 RBIs every season since 2003.

19. Jeff Clement, Seattle Mariners
He has absolutely destroyed minor league pitching. But is the M's top prospect up for big league opposition? He looked overmatched in 2008, hitting .227 with just five homers in 203 big league at-bats.

20. Brandon Inge, Detroit Tigers
It looks like Inge, a catcher last season, will take over as Detroit's everyday third baseman. The good news is that, since he won't be catching, he can play everyday, and be able to put a greater focus on his offense. The bad news is that he hit .205 last season.
