FACTS/FLUKES: Posey, Shields, Bruce, W. Smith, J. Peterson

Posey is an elite option … Buster Posey (C/1B, SF) led all catchers in batting average, RBI, OBP and Slg while also ranking in the top four in HR, R and SB. As such, he’ll again be the first catcher drafted in nearly every fantasy league. Is there any cause for hesitation?
