Lo Duca no longer seen as catcher: The Sports Xchange notes that Paul Lo Duca is no longer being viewed as a catcher by the Nationals. With C Jesus Flores getting the bulk of the starts behind the plate and C Wil Nieves serving as his primary backup, Lo Duca has been forced to get all his playing time at first base and in left field.

Fantasy Analysis
His last eight game appearances have all been in the field, none of them behind the plate, which could hurt his chances of being traded to a contender in need of catching help. Two stints on the DL in 2008 have played a part in Lo Duca losing his status as everyday catcher, but the Nationals keep finding places for him to play. Still, Lo Duca is best left for NL-only Fantasy leagues. (Updated 07/26/2008).
