Kirk a rock-solid option at catcher ... Alejandro Kirk (C, TOR) had an outstanding season in 2022, as he put up decent power numbers to go along with a .285 batting average. Should more of the same be expected from the 24-year-old in 2023?

There is a lot to like in Kirk's profile:

His ct% was strong in 2021 and far better this past season. His xBA says he was a little lucky but the low strikeout totals...
