John Jaso (C, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues

ANALYSIS: Look at John Jaso's stats and you understand why the Oakland A's have a rampaging offense.  He has a .276-.369-.457 triple slash line, as a backup catcher and part time DH.  What other backup catcher in the MLB has stats even close to 4 HR, 12 RBI, 16 Runs with a crazy good OBP.  If you play in an OBP league, Jaso is a borderline add in deep leagues, but he's best reserved for 2-catcher formats. He gets a large amount of ABs (split between DH and Catcher) for your 2nd catcher slot, and he is batting at or near the top of the A's lineup each game. Jaso isn't flashy but he gets on base, will score runs, and will even give you the occasional home run.
