The bar for MLB catchers is so low that Bart (legit catcher, willing to take a walk, power) isn't dead weight, especially at the minimum salary. Of course if he continues to strike out more than half the time (entirely possible) then Casali will play more, but Bart isn't a terrible problem for SF, it just looks worse than it is given that he was the #2 overall pick and he's replacing an MVP and likely hall of famer. Expectations just need to be reset.
