So I've been thinking about Jose some more and I must say he is a bit confounding.  At fangraphs they breakdown a players performance versus different pitch types and Jose is all over the map, with no clear pitch type trends.
For instance, the statistics support the eyes regarding Adrian Beltre.  He just can't hit anything that bends.  I think this is why he hasn't developed.  He can't sit on his pitch because he is completely at the mercy of a pitcher with a average or better breaking ball.  Jose doesn't have this fatal flaw.  Last year the slider was his weakness, but this year it's the fastball.  Does this jibe with people's impression?  I think it was Jason Churchill who said he thought Jose struggled with good heat, but this is totally contrary to your view of him Doc.  I frankly think Jose is the most intriguing player on the M's right now.
