JPA's defensive liabilities are grossly over exaggerated by many posters who hate the guy on this board. His defense on the whole has been better this year, especially when you consider 3 of his 6 passed balls came in his first ball game with Dickey pitching. The dude needs to improve his approach at the plate, but on the whole a .745 OPS isn't terrible considering his defense has improved over last year. He's capable of more offensively and needs to quit being so stubborn with his approach, but he's not far off where I expected him to be. Some of the pitching on the other hand is miles off where it should be. There are a lot of other players that should be held to account for their play before JPA.
