Jagielo has a ton of power.
Regardless of the defensive concerns a Left Handed Power Bat like that is kind’ve stupid to pass up on.I’d be happy to have him DH for me if it came down to that sort’ve thing.Obviously that presents a problem for NL teams and it’s not like he has to be a DH I’m just saying even if it really came down to worst case defensive scenario that kind’ve bat is more then enough reason to grab him.
I don’t think he’s a top of the 1st round talent or anything like that but he’s a very interesting bat in this class.
