05/20/2012 19:47 Hit Parade for Week 8
Some catchers have been bitten by the injury bug in recent days, leaving some owners scrambling. Our Scott White shares some recommendations and helps set your lineups for Week 8 in his Hit Parade.
Jose Bautista came so far out of nowhere in 2010 that many owners had a hard time believing that he would come close to repeating his performance in 2011. Bautista did fail to cross the 50-homer threshold last year, but owners didn't complain when he belted 43 dingers and put up a head-turning .302/..447/.608 line. With back-to-back years of superb offensive production, Bautista won't be a Draft Day bargain anymore. He is at risk of a slight downturn, as he may not hit .300 or walk in more than 20 percent of his plate appearances again. Even so, Bautista offers so much power and run production he will be worth taking with one of the first five picks in all formats, and he could be the top pick overall in many leagues.
