Victor Martinez, C, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Here, we have another great hitter who fills the premium position of catcher. Even in his age-39 season, Victor Martinez can still square up a baseball.

In an era of swinging for the fences, Martinez maintains a disciplined, contact-oriented approach, as his strikeout rate is just 9.7%. Don't think that means he sacrifices his power for the sake of weak contact, however. Martinez has delivered a 37.7% fly-ball rate and 36.4% hard-hit rate this year.

Nick Tropeano, who Martinez will be facing Monday, has allowed opposing batters to record a 39.9% fly-ball rate and 43.8% hard-hit rate against him this season. Martinez has a high floor and nice ceiling and comes at a very cheap price.
