Tucker Barnhart Having A Quiet Spring
4 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart is having a quiet spring, hitting just .132 with four runs and five RBI in 38 at-bats. He picked a bad time to struggle as rookie catcher Tyler Stephenson is having a strong spring and will be pushing him for playing time this season. The Reds will continue to lean on Barnhart as a veteran presence behind the plate but Stephenson could take over as the team's lead catcher if he gets off to a hot start. Barnhart's days as a viable fantasy catcher are likely over.
