It can in no way be like the Olivera **** because we didn't trade even a top 10 prospect for Jackson and we don't owe him 30+ million for a prospect that is already 30 years old. If Jackson busts we are out almost nothing.

No idea if the kid can catch or not.
But Catcher has to be the worst position in baseball right now. If he can catch ok and run into 20 Hrs he's an avg starting catcher right?
Apparently everyone thought he could catch a couple of years ago. They just thought the bat was so good that they wanted him to move faster and be less injury prone.
Kid has an attitude history. Nothing fixes an attitude like having to block balls in the dirt.
I still don't get why ppl hate this trade so much. It's likely that this kid flames out of baseball in a couple of years. But if he harness either his HS potential to catch or any part of his bat it's a plus for the Braves. And in the rare chance he hits 50% of his potential or more with the glove and the bat then this goes in chapter 1 of Coppy's book.
