On another note....I hope they bring back Seitzer in some capacity, he was just fired by Atlanta.

The biggest problem with MJ is his value now is completely decoupled with what he was coming up. He has really become exactly what he was in the minors barring one fluke 2021 covid year: a guy who can hit for some power at catcher at the cost of batting average and plate discipline and he will never hit lefties. But instead of above average defensive skills at catcher(or at least that’s what the rankings said) and a generally above average bat for a catcher, we moved him to a position that he is below average at in every way, thus ruining most of his value. There is nothing for him to “figure out” unless we move him back to catcher.
