3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will take a seat on the bench for Thursday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to MLB.com. Smith is one of the best offensive catchers in baseball, with him slashing .271/.377/.514. He's added 23 HRs, 69 RBI, 61 runs, and three stolen bases over 113 games. The superior defender Austin Barnes will catch in his place and bat eighth. He doesn't offer much with the bat as he's hitting .220 with six home runs in 69 games. Fantasy managers should stay away from Barnes and find a better catching option on the wire.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
