Why again is Barnhart catching Castillo? Stephenson is far and away the better hitter, and Castillo
has done WAY BETTER with Stephenson behind the plate. It's not even close, really. Over twice as
many innings thrown with Stephenson, with less hits per inning, far fewer earned runs. The numbers
also seem to imply that Castillo gets the strike call with Stephenson more than he does with Barnhart.
