I wasn't trying to imply that his bat didn't play at catcher, because it does. I just mean that his defense is so awful that it nullifies the things he actually does well offensively. The way he is hitting right now, I don't see how he could be below replacement level at DH. I realize DH has the lowest positional adjustment when calculating WAR, but he is .ops'ing .809 this year, just .007 less than Billy Butler, who is widely regarded as one of the best designated hitters in the league.

JP is what he is - an all-or-nothing power hitter with a brutal contact rate and brutal defense. If he was our DH, he would actually be pretty valuable. If we could get a legit game-calling catcher with good contact rate and as our everyday catcher, I'd be thrilled. A Gregg Zaun-type catcher would be a major upgrade, as weird as that is.
