Man, this catcher defense stuff is confusing. I just compared my Yasmani Grandal from OOTP19, who has been my catcher on my SabreCats-like team for dozens of seasons, with my Kyle Schwarber in OOTP20 and his horrible ratings. The number of passed balls per inning came out...completely identical. Like exactly the same. Who knows anymore...

Anyways, I swapped out both my catchers in one fell swoop. Goodbye Schwarber & Seminick...hello Grandal and Gary Carter. A drop off in power but huge improvements to defense. Both my catchers were struggling to even crack positive WAR consistently, so it can't get much worse...
