John Jaso (C / DH, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team / All Two-Catcher Leagues

OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: In his 19 AB since returning from the DL, John Jaso has been great offensively. Jaso has a .421 BA, a 1.184 OPS, and a 229 OPS+ so far this season. Jaso has been a shining picture of consistency at the plate for the last three seasons, and has established himself as one of the most solid catchers in baseball with a bat in his hand. For the last three seasons Jaso has OPS of .850, .759, and .767; and OPS+ of 142, 114, and 117. Jaso is also especially effective against righties, with a .800 career OPS against RHP. Now, are there a few catchers in baseball who have more offensive acumen than John Jaso? Of course there are. The difference is, those other catchers aren't available to 94% of fantasy baseball managers at the halfway point in the season. If you need a catcher, or just a batter who is currently on fire, add Jaso before it's too late.
