Its not enough to just be overflowing with talent to have a good rookie season. You also need to have an opportunity. And $1 buys, or late-round selections likely wont win you a championship on their own but most championship seasons in fantasy baseball need a little luck from those picks or a lucky waiver wire selection.Today were going to look at rookie catchers (and one sophomore) that may very well help you in 2019 that may have been overlooked by other fantasy managers in your league.

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed catcher Josh Thole to a major league contract. In order to accommodate him on the roster, the Jays sent down starting second baseman Devon Travis to rookie-level Bluefield. Their season ends tonight, so now that the rosters have expanded Travis should be back up wit[...]
