Over the last month, many fantasy baseball catchers have cooled off. At the top of the catcher rankings, there are a lot of interesting names. Here are the top five hottest catchers in 2009 fantasy baseball:

1. Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins
Mauer is not a surprise on this list. For the season, he’s hitting .395 with 14 homers, 42 RBIs and 40 runs. Amazingly enough, his 14 homers are already a career-high.

2. Victor Martinez, Cleveland Indians
Last season, Martinez struggled at the plate and with injuries. This year, he’s playing much better. On the season, he is hitting .326 with 12 homers, 53 RBIs and 49 runs.

3. Miguel Olivo, Kansas City Royals
This is definitely a surprise. Over the last month, Olivo has hit seven homers to go along with 16 RBIs and 13 runs. If you want some power out of your catcher spot, consider picking up Olivo.

4. Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves
McCann has been hitting the ball very well as of late. For his 2009 campaign, he’s hitting .328 with an on-base percentage of .416. He has seven homers, 30 RBIs and 21 runs.

5. Geovany Soto, Chicago Cubs
It appears as if Soto was going to be a bust this season — but he’s finally starting to pick it up. In the last month, he has four homers, seven runs and 10 RBIs along with an on-base percentage of .370.

When you are looking for a catcher for your fantasy baseball team, you better act quickly if you want a quality option. After the top three catchers, there’s a drop off to the next tier. All in all, the top six or seven catchers are somewhat dependable but beyond that point it’s a crap shoot.
