I find it interesting that there is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth over calling Jaso "just a LH portion of a platoon" that he hasn't had an adequite chance against LHP. And I also see a lot of the Beane argument, the one you brought up that since Beane is trading for him we MUST have lost the deal. However, the reports out of Oakland is that Beane went and got Jaso precisely because Jaso is "just" a platoon bat and that is how Beane is going to use him (with Norris the RH side) and because he is just a platoon bat he came a lot cheaper. So either he isn't just a RHP batter or Beane is a genius who sees Jaso's tru greatness, but not both ;)
