Salty entered the 2016 season on the heels of a late-career power spike, and his six-homer outburst in his first 13 games of the season further fanned the flames of optimism. However, his bat stalled soon after it left the station last year, and he finished with career-worst figures in each of the triple-slash categories. He hit half of his homers and most of his doubles in the first three weeks of the season, after which he limped his way to an anemic .150/.270/.256 line in 248 plate appearances the rest of the way. The 10-year veteran is still young enough for a rebound, and switch-hitting catchers have long lifespans in MLB, but beware that even the upside is a stat line full of holes, much like his swing. Did we mention that he had a career-high 35.6 percent strikeout rate last season? Even after signing a deal to likely be Russell Martin's backup in Toronto, the gaps in his game make him a high-risk pick in deeper leagues.
