AL Fantasy Catcher Preview (cont)



13. Greg Zaun  Toronto Blue Jays
Unless Toronto either signs or trades for a catcher, Zaun will have the inside track at the starting gig in 2007. The 13-year veteran worked as Bengie Molina's backup last season, but he ended up getting starts as the Blue Jays DH after a productive stretch at the plate.  Zaun is a left over on draft day outside of AL-only leagues and he hits for average and provides decent pop as a No. 2 catcher.

14. John Buck  Kansas City Royals
Buck's numbers were virtually a repeat of his 2005 production; .242 AVG, 12 HRs,and 42 RBIs. He's only 26, so he's still young enough to develop into the .275-22-73 hitter he was in high Class A ball.However, Buck's free-swinging ways (48 K's in 192 ABs) almost guarantee that achieving those numbers would be a long shot . Expect a slight step up in 2007, but no major breakthroughs.
