Yasmani Grandal could be fantasy's top catcher as a White Sox

The defending No. 3 catcher by ESPN Fantasy's Player Rater, Grandal smacked a career-high 28 home runs in 2019. Sure, everyone - wink, wink - seemed to hit a career-high in home runs, but Grandal's performance in his lone Milwaukee Brewers season stood out because it was his fourth consecutive campaign with 22 or more blasts, and he found the time to draw 109 walks. That is so many walks. Unlike many, Grandal's plate discipline does not result in a stellar batting average, but he has a baseline in that statistic that shows little sign of age-related drop-off as he joins the Chicago White Sox.
