Good for him. Wish he could be more consistent at the plate but that's pretty outstanding to be only the third Reds catcher to win more than one.

Yep
C and SS have historically been the two positions you can accept the not so great O for the outstanding D. And CF to a degree.
Normally the rest of the bunch can make up for the defensive players. But as you know that hasn't been happening, the entire team is batting .200
I hope they can somehow fix the offense for this coming season.

Like a lot of Reds players Barnhart underperformed at the plate this year.
He was a career .250 hitter, but just hit .204 this year.
Reds have more talent than they showed this season. Multiple players had big drops from their offensive production in 2019.
