He was perfectly understandable. I love Dominican accents though.
Regarding Fruit Ninja and Wacha: He's striking out more than a batter an inning, carrying a legit ERA in the mid-2's (no real batted ball luck), and keeping his walk rate respectable while still learning a curve.
We got really lucky with him.
Regarding Jay: he's on a nice little streak right now, which means his value will never be higher. His arm isn't good enough to play in a COF spot, nor is his bat (he registers as a league average hitter even when avoiding lefties), he's slow as shit, and he's a bad defensive centerfielder. If you can trade him for a legit bench bat that can hit LHP, do it.
