Eligibility
Corporan was given the chance to start against The Astros and he did not squander it. He picked up 2 hits and 1 RBI.
Fantasy Impact
He got close to beating his former team but was unable to in the end. Thus far in the season Corporan and Robinson Chirinos have been splitting at bats (1 more for Corporan) and he has done pretty well. Coporan does not hold the value of a catcher that starts everyday but if you know he is starting he can be a good spot start if you are in a pinch.
The Texas Rangers filled one of the holes in their roster as they acquired catcher Carlos Corporan from the Houston Astros for prospect Akeem Bostick.
Fantasy Impact
Corporan will share duties with Robinson Chirinos with the latter getting the majority of the work. The Rangers were interested in Evan Gattis, but once the former Brave was acquired by the Astros last week, Corporan became available. The 31-year-old Corporan saw action i n 55 games last season, hitting .235 with six home runs and 19 RBI. He is only viable in deep two-catcher leagues.
The Texas Rangers have been looking for a catcher all off-season and have finally found their man. Texas is sending minor league pitcher Akeem Bostick to the Astros to complete this deal. Houston designated Corporan for assignment earlier this week.
Fantasy Impact
Before this move it was clear that Robinson Chirinos was number one on the depth chart, but now it is complicated slightly. Jeff Banister may choose to split playing time between the two, but whatever he decides Chirinos will see more off days. Both men have limited fantasy value in 2015 but just like any player they are worth watching.
