Maile is hitting better, and some (many?) believe the clavicle break for Stephenson is still affecting him.
By letting Maile be the primary catcher this year, it would allow Stephenson more time to rest.
It would also allow the Reds to have the current better hitter in the lineup more often to try to help push for the postseason.
Oh yes fully agree
Stephenson has been falling off BAD these last 30 games or so. He's batting .120 for the month of August
