In his first full season behind the plate, FanGraphs Wins Above Replacement (fWAR) and Runs Above Replacement (RAR) who have seen at least 300 plate appearances and caught 600 or more innings this season.
| Player | wRAA | wOBA | wRC+ | rSB | rGFP | DRS | RAR | fWAR | Fantasy Pros, which compiles fantasy baseball average draft position data from Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, NFBC and MockDraftCentral, Gomes was the 12th catcher to come off the board this year, taken 229th overall. Our algorithms project Gomes’ powwow at the plate to continue to the tune of a .282 average, .838 OPS with seven bombs and 26 RBI in 154 remaining plate appearances – giving him a .284 average, .817 OPS, 23 homer and 78 RBI line for the season – a hefty return on investment for the Indians’ front office and fantasy owners alike. So while they’re all having Gomes’ cake and eating it too, he’s out there each night earning minimum wage on his All-Star production. Sometimes life just isn’t fair, and on that note, I think I’ll go cut myself another slice. |
