Erik Kratz

Kratz knocked in a pair of runs in Game 2 of the NLDS after waiting until age 38 to finally play in a playoff game. It was a remarkable achievement for a player who didn't reach MLB until after his 30th birthday and who has appeared for seven different clubs, mostly as a third or fourth catcher. Heartwarming heroics aside, the veteran offered very little fantasy value and is unlikely to do so in 2019. His .236/.280/.355 line was in line with his career .211/.258/.363 mark. That's not enough to make for a particularly interesting option even if an injury were to open up a starting role. After the Yasmani Grandal signing, one of Kratz or Manny Pina will not break camp with the big club. At his age, the chance for a performance drop-off is far greater than the chance for a significant improvement, so unless your league has found a way to give points for catcher framing and veteran leadership, Kratz can safely be ignored during draft season.
