Yea, regardless of his true talent going forward, one of the most impressive half months of any WS prospect any year.

He stunk for us. Was one of the more miserable "f*** sabermetrics" signings of that era. -

Just saw he throws like Juan Pierre. -
Then why would they have hired him in the first place? Nah, Jason was and still is a fairly rising star and JR like usual felt a cheaper option was the go to when he wanted a raise.

As a Michigander I know all about Caputo, who is a blowhard asswipe, even for a sports talk host and columnist. But his critique of Jason is 100% spot on and made me literally lol a couple times. Jason does approach every game like he's God's Gift to Humor, and it just wears thin over 162 -- especially when the team is playing like s%*#. As I just said in the game thread, Jason is like a good cup of coffee that's perfectly good before someone dumped 4 sugars in and screwed it up. Some people like 4 sugars all the time others prefer it a little more buttoned up. As a play by play guy, you gotta find the balance. For awhile, Hawk and Whimpy had a great balance. Whimpy could laugh at himself and even would make Hawk laugh at himself. But both guys were serious baseball folks when it was called for in big moments and games.

This trade is great. Clear out dead wood and get a little cash for a guy with no business on the 40 man anyways. Getz has done a pretty good job with the overall roster management the last couple months it's night and day better than his first year.

His statcast is LOUD. Above avg now in xwOBA and expected slug. Elite bat speed in the 95th percentile range with already 2 runs above avg in their defense metric and a 53rd percentile sprint speed, which given his size is great.

Jason to me is like a nice cup of tea or coffee that's ruined by too much sugar. If he could just stick to calling the game without so many puns and jokes it would be a very nice experience. John is like a rancid 40oz of King Cobra that sat out on the porch all weekend and you take one swig of and start retching.
