Prior to the Pirates signing him as a free agent last year, John Jaso had spent his entire career in the AL as a Catcher. Drafted by the Rays in 2003, Jaso made his MLB debut with them in 2008. He would bounce between AAA and the Majors over the next few seasons before being traded to Seattle Mariners. He only spent the 2012 season in Seattle, but it turned out to be his best season statistically. That season he also had the distinction of being the Catcher for Felix Hernandez’s perfect game on August 15th.
