Maybe he will prove me wrong, but I feel like he is just completely washed up. Obviously none of the backups has taken his job, but I would rather have a young player develop as a starter. What's the difference anyways when the starter is giving his best impersonation of a matador.

We can only hope that Jon gets back up to speed. Buges would not keep him in there if he weren't the best player available now on the roster, and he is known as a slow starter. Give him a chance, he's coming off major repairs.

We witnessed last year Heyer and Wade filling in those aren't better options than a healthy up to speed Jansen, which I do hope we see this season.
