a bad start doesn't mean the entire year is bad either. out of hundreds if not thousands of high quality players i've seen have a bad start, very very few continue to underperform for such a long period of time -- an anti-lottery winner, if you will. or is it lottery anti-winner?
more times than not moving them around due to short-term performance is the wrong decision to make.
now, like others said, it sounds like the backup is better? with a catcher and the way ootp makes them, i'd go with the cheaper of any ~near equivalent choice. catchers simply don't have good bats... and what differentiates an average catcher bat from a good catcher bat is slimmer than other positions due to that fact.. smaller range all bunched up.. few excellent bats, if any, currently in the league.
anything near league average with ~average defense should make you content until you see something significantly better --- it may take 20-50 years, lol.
in 120years of ootp18 league, i saw what i consider 3-4 good offensive bats with acceptable defense for a catcher... may be improved frequency this year, may be the same. the rest you can literally pull a number out of a hat and it make make a 1-win difference, if that, from bottom to top of any rational options.
it's like fretting over batting a guy 3rd or 4th? it might be a difference of a handful of runs and nothing you should overthink or put in a lot of time on. when we understand the ramifications with more certainty, it'll become a clockwork decision based on break-even analysis...

I just can’t emphasize enough that your first paragraph is why I play stats-only. What fun is it to make a determination based on ratings? Obviously, a 20 on the 20-80 scale is going to be terrible and an 80 is going to be great, even if he isn’t at the present time.
