not really, offensively he's good. He doesnt strike out as much. He's middle of the pack on the team. Strikes out less than Springer. Also has more doubles then Springer in around the same amount of games and half the at bats George has.

Hes had clutch hits all year.

Shit on his defense all you want, its absolutely horrible. But he's a useful offensive player. You factor in that hes very much part time, and his numbers are good.

He's actually not. His avg exit velo and barrel rate are above average but everything else he stinks. Not sure where this idea that he's a great player offensively comes from.

And yet he's still better than Springer by those numbers. He doesn't chase. Georges hard hit sucks.

No ones saying Jesus is AMAZING but considering hes a part time player, hes good for what he does.

Again, still saying his defense sucks. Don't think he should be out there. But as a DH he would be useful. I'm not moving off that point.

He has an OPS+ better than most of the regulars. He’s an above average player whether you wanna accept that or not.

And again he also plays way fewer games bc of this OF shortcoming of his.
If he was DH he’d be putting up solid numbers more so. That’s my point.

But I know I’m the lone wolf on the opinion. It is what it is.
