Austin Barnes and his sub .300 OBP has been sent down allowing rookie Will Smith to be the primary catcher for the Dodgers going forward.

Barnes in 204 AB:
5 HRs
23 RBIs
.196 AVG
.616 OPS

Smith in 29 AB:
4 HRs
12 RBIs
.345 AVG
1.256 OPS

Obviously this is a very small sample size but replacing one of the worst hitting players in the league with a rookie who's been very impressive in his few appearances this season is making the Dodgers even more ridiculous. Will Smith went 3-3 with 6RBIs tonight which is more RBIs than Austin Barnes has had in his last 60 ABs. Let's revisit Will Smith in a month and see how he performs with a larger sample size.

Great prospect.

Still have Lux to potentially call up, too, looking forward to this team’s future.

I like Barnes though, I had hoped he would be able to come back to that 2017 form he had but that may have been a fluke.

Following up on Smith a little early but I've been out of town quite a bit lately and haven't been able to watch many games so I want to see how he's doing.

Smith in 29 AB:
4 HRs
12 RBIs
.345 AVG
1.256 OPS

Smith in 80 AB:
10 HRs
28 RBIs
.325 AVG
1.198 OPS

Averaged dropped below .300 for a little but an active 7 game hitting streak which includes 4 HRs and 9 RBIs has brought it back up. I can't speak to his defense since I haven't been able to watch the games but with his offensive production so far, I don't care. RIP Austin Barnes.
