AdvertisementLet’s compare the Giants to the Dodgers at each position with the WAA stat (WAA stands for Wins Above Average). Austin Barnes drags down the Dodgers’ WAA at catcher because of his below-average offense and overall it is hurt defensively because teams steal so many bases on the Dodgers. If you haven’t already, I’d still love for you to send me your first Dodgers memory, and it might run in an upcoming Dodgers Dugout. He is the reason I’ve been a fan my whole life and he’s the reason I attended my first Dodger game. It makes me feel like now I’m taking him out to a Dodger game.
