Explain to me why Miguel Olivo does not start daily (1 Viewer)

[Sweet Love]

Obviously, I am a frustrated owner, but I just don't see how this guy who is hitting .301, with 13 HRs (5 behind the league leader) and 47 RBIs (9 behind the league leader) is not getting more starts. Can he not hit from one of the sides of the plate? Just seems odd that a guy hitting .213 (Chris Iannetta) is taking so much time away from him (even for a catcher).

Olivo does not catch well, which is important for a catcher.No, seriously, he has a propensity for passed balls and errors. He has a decent arm, but the rest of his defense has holes.
