Is Jacob Stallings a viable starting option at catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2020?

What a difference a year makes.

Last season, the Pirates were great at catcher. They ranked fourth in the majors in fWAR at the position (4.2). Francisco Cervelli had a career year offensively in the 104 games he played while still providing solid defense. When he wasn’t playing, Elias Diaz did wonderful job of seamlessly filling in. So much so, that it seemed like he could be the everyday catcher of the near future.

2019 has been way different.

Cervelli started the season extremely slow before suffering another concussion near the end of May.
