On Catcher's Corner we talk fantasy baseball from a catcher's point-of-view. Eric and Sami use the lessons for their playing days in working with pitchers, scouting opposing hitters, and calling games to help you see beyond just the metrics. Blending stats with on-field scouting experience, they'll tell you pitcher performances can you believe in, which arms have a breakout looming, or even which hitters have a flaw that opponents may begin to attack. Come from the baseball, stay for the banter.
