Fantasy Analysis
Buck isn't going to win any batting titles. But he has good pop for a catcher and has been a decent RBI producer for Florida in 2011. He is worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy catcher in mixed leagues. (Updated 09/04/2011).
10/21/2011 04:41 By the Numbers: Infield, catcher hits and misses
The second installment of Al Melchior's look back at his 2011 preseason projections in By the Numbers focuses on catchers and infielders.
John Buck managed to spin a career-best 2010 season into a multi-year deal with the Marlins before predictably returning to career norms last year. His 16 homers were healthy enough for a catcher, but his .227 batting average? Yup, that's exactly the John Buck we remember from all those years in Kansas City. The 31-year-old backstop has pop, but he's a free-swinger with a propensity for pop-ups -- a combination that, apart from that one magical year in Toronto, condemns him to a batting average in the low-.200s. Buck should have a better supporting cast in 2012, which should lead to some modest gains in RBI and runs scored, but given his return to normalcy last year, you wouldn't want to draft him as more than a second catcher in mixed leagues -- and even then, only if you're willing to absorb the hit in batting average.
