I anxious to see if he can translate up here.

You sure you're thinking of the right guy?
JAG isn't a burner by any stretch. He has a CANNON in right, but if you're putting him in center you done ****ed up, IMO...
Among our 'high level' OFers, he was probably the least athletic. Bader, O'Neill, Arozarena, Mercado and Thomas are all better runners than he is. Moreover, he absolutely has some strikeout issues; chases too many pitches (though he punishes strikes).
He's probably an average runner at this level. Nothing like watching Martinez try to play RF or anything like that, but defense isn't a strength either.
