JOHN JASO RUMORS & GOSSIP
A's John Jaso still bothered by shin injury, returns to catcher
The Oakland Athletics would love to get John Jaso back into the everyday lineup, and it looks like that may finally happen. Up until yesterday it has not been possible to get Jaso behind the plate since his injury. Jaso suffered a shin injury a week ago, and he had yet to catch a game until last night. With one game back at catcher under his belt, the team hopes Jaso can stay...
Ichiro's outstanding catch robs Jaso of lead-off home run
Ichiro Suzuki has finally started to heat up at the plate this season but it never seems like the rifle-armed Yankees outfielder ever cools off in the field. Just ask Oakland's John Jaso after the nimble Ichiro cleanly snatches this ball and robs the A's catcher of a sure-fire lead-off home run.
Nobody was happier to see Ichiro reach over Yankee Stadium's right field...
Felix Hernandez gave John Jason a Rolex last night
Before Monday's Mariners-Athletics game, Seattle starting pitcher Felix Hernandez gave Oakland catcher John Jaso a gift: a brand new gold Rolex. What's the occasion? Well, the former Mariner Jaso was the catcher for Hernandez's perfect game in Seattle last summer. The back of the watch is inscribed with "8/15/12", the date of the perfect game.
Perhaps ironically...

King Felix giveth, Jaso taketh away
Felix Hernandez finally presented former Mariners catcher John Jaso with the perfect gift: a shiny Rolex for catching King Felix's perfecto last August against the Rays.

John Jaso's plate discipline improves the Athletics
The Oakland Athletics won the American League West last season despite a virtual black hole on offense from the catching position. In 632 plate appearances by all of their catchers in 2012, the triple slash line from the position was: .204/.262/.325. That .587 OPS was abysmal and worked out to a 64 OPS+. And so it made sense for Billy Beane to use a couple of his pitching prospects...
Morse Deal: What No One is Talking About
Yes, the Mariners added some much needed power in Michael Morse. Did they pay too much in John Jaso? Maybe. Jaso had a 3.4 oWAR this year. Morse had 3.8 in his “breakout” year. When you can trade three more years of control at a premium position for one of a pending FA at a position pretty much every player with power can play, you have do to it, right?
Whatever, ...
Question to Seattle Mariners fans: Does John Jaso still exist?
Mariners gems lost in the hype of Jesus’ arrival?
There are things that have happened in Northwest history that are better not remembered. The first is the Pig War. Don’t know what the Pig War was?
Then be proud of yourself.
But in typical North West laid back fashion, we were able to have an event called a war in which only a single shot was fired and the only victim was...
