| Rank | Player | Bryan | George | Chris | Professor's Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Joe Mauer | 1 | 1 | 1 | 88 R were 24 more than next closest C |
| 2 | Victor Martinez | 2 | 2 | 2 | Batted over .300 in 5 of last 6 seasons |
| 3 | Buster Posey | 3 | 5 | 3 | T-5th in HR among C last season (18) in just 108 games |
| 4 | Brian McCann | 4 | 4 | 4 | K rate rose for 3rd straight season (20.5%) |
| 5 | Carlos Santana | 5 | 3 | 5 | Below-average .277 BABIP despite great LD rate (21.1%) |
| 6 | Geovany Soto | 6 | 6 | 6 | Highest LD rate (24.4%) among all C with at least 300 PA |
| 7 | Mike Napoli | 9 | 7 | 7 | .238 AVG in 2010 was unlucky; think .250s |
| 8 | Matt Wieters | 7 | 9 | 8 | 3.07 K:BB ratio in 2009; 2.00 K:BB ratio in 2010 (that's a good sign) |
| 9 | Miguel Montero | 10 | 8 | 9 | Improved plate discipline in 2009 regressed in 2010 |
| 10 | Jorge Posada | 8 | 10 | 10 | 2010 ISO (.206) better than V-Mart, Posey, McCann and Mauer |
| 11 | Kurt Suzuki | 12 | 11 | 11 | Serious 2nd half slide in last two seasons |
| 12 | Russell Martin | 11 | 15 | 12 | Yankees lineup > Dodgers lineup |
| 13 | J.P. Arencibia | 13 | 14 | 13 | Kid's got some pop; hit 53 HR in 220 games at AAA over last 2 seasons |
| 14 | Carlos Ruiz | 15 | 12 | 17 | Good ballpark, good lineup, good plate discipline, good hitter |
| 15 | John Buck | 14 | 18 | 15 | .281 AVG is too high, but 20 HR power is legit |
| 16 | John Jaso | 22 | 13 | 14 | Batted leadoff half the time in 2010; great BB rate (14.6%) |
| 17 | Ryan Doumit | 17 | 20 | 16 | .318 season in 2008 now seems like a distant memory |
| 18 | Miguel Olivo | 16 | 19 | 19 | Extremely consistent HR/FB rates; ~15 HR is money in the bank |
| 19 | A.J. Pierzynski | 19 | 17 | 20 | ISO dropped each of last 5 seasons; Tyler Flowers is on his way |
| 20 | Chris Iannetta | 24 | 16 | 18 | 15-HR power, but career .234 hitter |
| 21 | Yadier Molina | 21 | 21 | 21 | Exactly 6 HR in 4 of last 5 seasons; should rebound to hit at least .280 |
| 22 | Nick Hundley | 20 | 25 | 23 | K rate (career 26.7%) will keep his average under .250 |
| 23 | Jarrod Saltalamacchia | 18 | - | 24 | Great lineup is his saving grace, but will platoon with V-Tek |
| 24 | Rod Barajas | - | 22 | 25 | Batted .297 with 5 HR and 13 RBI in 25 G with Dodgers last season |
| 25 | Chris Snyder | 23 | - | 27 | No longer has to split with Montero; sadly, now he has Doumit |
| 26 | Jason Castro | - | 24 | 28 | Defensive will keep him in the lineup because his bat certainly won't |
| 27 | Yorvit Torrealba | 30 | 23 | - | Latest victim of likely catching logjam in Arlington |
| 28 | Jesus Montero | 25 | - | 30 | Prodigious power potential but nowhere to put him |
| 29 | Francisco Cervelli | 29 | 27 | - | It's Cervelli's job to lose; Posada is the DH, but Montero is in the wings |
| 30 | Ivan Rodriguez | - | 28 | 29 | Only upside is he gets at least 400 AB |
