    Christy is one of the better defensive catchers in the college game, with strong receiving and leadership skills to go with a solid-average arm. He wasn't drafted as a junior in 2005 after batting .236 with one homer, but he'll draw middle-round interest this year after hitting .292 with eight homers entering NCAA regional play. He swings through a lot of pitches and may never hit enough to be a regular, but he could reach the majors as a defensive-minded backup.
