What position is Evan Gattis in the NFBC now?

Post by Driver Love » Sun Apr 14, 2013 2:37 pm

I know for Atlanta he is a catcher. If you click on his name on any fantasy site he shows as a catcher. This season he has played catcher in every game but one. When I try to find him on the NFBC site he is shown as an outfielder.

I assume this means he is an outfielder and I must be missing something. Can someone more experienced provide feedback? No point in bidding on him in faab if I need him as a catcher if he isn't eligible there.

Nine games at catcher so far. His next game catching will make him catcher eligible.

Today was his 9th game at catcher -- one more and he's eligible.

Unless something wacky happens, we should be able to put him at C next FRIDAY, the 19th.

wow.. big downer for me. I lost Ramos with a hamstring and can't pick up Gattis for this week because he is one game short.

37 games at outfield in the minors last year; 27 at catcher

You can always pick him up and move him into catcher once he's eligible. If he keeps this up, he's going to be as good as John Buck. ;)

Why's is it a big downer? Add him and sit him Mon-Thur and start Fri. Worth taking zeroes for 3 games to get that bat at catcher. He looks good in the OF slot right now the way he's hitting.

We would still need a catcher in the catcher spot to have a legal lineup correct?

It is a downer for a couple reasons. One, I only need a catcher for a couple weeks and buying Gattis isn't as valuable when he missed most of the first one. I do not think he will have long term value with McCann and Freeman coming back. would be fun to ride him some now.

Yes, always need to submit a legal line up.

Of course you can pick him up. You just won't have a C for 4 days.
