Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell says it can be easier getting two catchers consistent playing time than any other position.
This season, he can choose daily between Tucker Barnhart, the reigning Gold Glove winner who’s having one of the best offensive stretches of his career, and Tyler Stephenson, the franchise’s 2015 first-round pick who has made a leap forward in his second Major League season.
“(Barnhart) is getting two out of three (starts) right now,” Bell said. “But there will be other times of the year where, depending on a certain situation, maybe that would be reversed.
