May 16, 2013Game 37 wrapup: Jaso’s knowledge of Iwakuma no advantage; Straily likely to get one more start
Inside the A's | Oakland Tribune — There’s an old adage in baseball that the batter who is a biggest threat to a pitcher is someone who’s spent some time catching that pitcher.

John Jaso: Plate Discipline and Outcomes
Athletics Nation — Many A's fans were miffed when Jaso was acquired, as the team paid a high price in the name of prized pitching prospect A.J. Cole. After all, Jaso was coming off of a breakout season in 2012, with a 143 wRC+, 10 HR, and .850 OPS in only 361 PA. He had had a pretty good season in 2010 with the Rays, but that was followed by a virtually replacement level season in 2011, where he had an 85 wRC +, 5 HR, and a .651 OPS. That said, the A's had an offensive black hole at catcher last season, so anything was likely going to be an upgrade. As before, I'm going to lift the groundwork for l...
