A's acquire catcher Jaso, send Cole back to Nats

OAKLAND -- The A's strengthened their catching situation on Wednesday by acquir
ing backstop John Jaso from the Mariners in a three-team deal that resulted in
them also returning pitching prospect A.J. Cole to the Nationals.

Oakland added in Minor League right-hander Blake Treinen and a player to be
named in the package to Washington, who gave up outfielder/first baseman
Michael Morse to Seattle.

To clear room on the 40-man roster for Jaso, the A's chose to designate catcher
George Kottaras for assignment just one day after agreeing to terms with him on
a one-year deal worth $1 million to avoid arbitration.

Jaso, who carries with him a productive left-handed bat, is a prime platoon
candidate next to new teammate Derek Norris, given his eye-opening splits. Jaso
posted a .927 OPS against right-handers last year, compared to .393 vs. lefties
, while making appearances in every spot of the batting order.

The move also gives the young Norris, just 23, an opportunity to ease into
what's expected to be his first full big league season and enjoy a sense of
comfort against left-handers.

"I think him and Derek complement each other very well," A's general manager
Billy Beane said.

Beane has eyed a deal for Jaso since the start of the offseason, tinkering with
numerous ways to land the blossoming catcher. Going back even further, the A's
had scouted him extensively in his Minor League days, once even considering to
pluck him from the Rule 5 Draft.

Patience, Beane hopes, will pay off.

"We think he's a great offensive fit in our lineup," the GM said. "He's got a
unique combination of contact and on-base percentage. He was really starting to
show some power last year, and I think he's a unique bat that can catch."

The numbers confirm this notion, as Jaso hit .276 with a .394 on-base
percentage to go along with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs in 108 games for the
Mariners last year.

Cole, just 21, was highly regarded by the A's, who landed the righty from the
Nationals in the Gio Gonzalez deal last winter. But he struggled greatly at
Class A Stockton in 2012, going 0-7 with a 7.82 ERA, before being demoted to
Burlington.

推 ganbaru:我怎麼覺得在這筆交易中拿出A.J. Cole很可惜.....
→ condition0:jaso去年面對右投.302 .419 .508
推 tywei:Cole的arm action一直都有爭議，不少球隊認為他只能當RP
→ tywei:用RP換個先發捕手回來還不差啦，尤其是RP是綠帽永遠都不缺的
→ tywei:A's很顯然不是那些認為Cole是前段輪值的球隊
推 johnycode:jaso的優點好像只有右殺,防守好像是below average

推 youngways:這麼低階要說看得準看不準，誰能打包票呢？
