Catcher ROS Rankings
Dropping off: Yan Gomes (48th), Drew Romo (49th)

Austin Wells is the big riser this month, going from 29th to 10th. I really wanted him in the top 20 earlier than this, but the Yankees were playing him only half of the time until Jose Trevino went down. Wells has had great expected stats since day one this year, and his actual numbers have finally caught up in recent weeks.

That the Rockies declined to trade Einar Díaz or even Jacob Stallings bumped Romo from the list and also resulted in steep fall for Hunter Goodman. It seems criminal that Goodman, who is perfectly capable of playing an outfield corner, has been on the bench in favor of Jake Cave so frequently, but that’s the Rockies. With Nolan Jones and Jordan Beck on the way back from the IL, it would take quite a break to get Goodman regular playing time at any point.
