2012
Hayes flashed a bit of a power stroke in 2011, popping five home runs in 160 at-bats, but was otherwise his normal invisible-for-fantasy-purposes self. The Marlins seem content with him backing up John Buck, so expect more of the same given the very limited time he'll spend on the field this season. In terms of using him as a second catcher in a deep league, consider his career .225/.284/.417 line and 17:69 BB:K over 239 big league plate appearances and look elsewhere for that depth.
2011
Hayes got a shot at the starting job when both Ronny Paulino and John Baker fell by the wayside, but he was soon felled by a separated shoulder himself. His anemic bat wasn't missed, and while he might win a job in the spring backing up new starter John Buck that still won't make him worth your while.
2010
A desert-fueled batting average in 2008 gave the hope that he might turn out to be more than a defense-first backup catcher, but the Marlins moved their Triple-A affiliate from Albuquerque to New Orleans in 2009 and Hayes' progress with the bat was proven to be a mirage. He got his first taste of the majors in 2009 though, and if the Marlins decide to save a couple hundred thousand bucks on a caddy for John Baker, Hayes will be the guy they turn to down the road as a cut-rate option.
