Jed gets his egghead

The Good

1. Projects to a .750 OPS, so it's not like he's that risky

2. Showed in 2020 what it can look like when he's got it all clicking

3. Is outrageously patient, the third lowest chase rate in MLB the last two years

4. Three remaining years of team control

 

The Bad

1. Despite decent speed he's a terrible defender

2. Already quite the medical history

3. For a bat first guy, doesn't hit the ball particularly hard

 

Not my favorite target, but RHH outfielder was a need, and something I didn't want Jed to spend a lot of money on. He also wouldn't be the first guy that just needed a change of scenery out of New York.

Bravo.

So I guess he was out with vertigo for most of last year? I wonder how that will impact him going forward.

 

Do we know if this is a guaranteed deal yet?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (of 2012.)

The tweets I've seen were specific in saying 'major league deal', so it'd be a shock if it wasn't guaranteed on those grounds and if no one else was willing to give him a guarantee.
