Jesus of Tampa now Jesus of Trenton






Praise him!
He's 19, with the power and the glory, and he's coming to save Jersey.
Downside: Our questionable policy of platooning him as catcher the last two years. He's rising too fast. I know the stated philosophy -- let him season slowly -- but if he hits his way to NYC next year, which is now a possibility, we might have developed a career DH... from the gitgo. Another Sam Horn.
Considering this guy's potential, that's malpractice by the Yank farm system.
This kid always needed time behind the plate. Why, why, why didn't they give it to him?
Was it fate that they would betray Jesus? (And if so, whose hands should be washed, the current Scranton catcher, P.J. "Pontius" Pillitere?)
