Fun fact - Jon and John are very different names. Jonathan has the root of Nathan, John is a universal name with equivalents in most languages (Sean, Ivan, Johan, etc.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Here's his 2021 prospect profile: https://www.prospectslive.com/scoutingreports/jon-heasley Quote Overall: Heasley looks like an up-and-down rotation depth piece and/or long reliever. He has a collection of fringe-average pitches and is an OK strike-thrower, although his athletic limitations and high arm slot prevent him from commanding all four quadrants of the strike zone. He has an inning-eater frame, works quickly, and isn't afraid to throw the fastball in the strike zone, which could give him an opportunity to eat some low-leverage innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's most probably a depth addition. They'll need arms in AAA, as well as dudes to toss in the major league bullpen for a week, then DFA when the better guy gets off the IL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Would be awesome if he flipped the switch his age 27 age season like Max Muncy (another guy who played some 1B who is the same height). I’m not going to hold my breath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan has the root of Nathan, John is a universal name with equivalents in most languages (Sean, Ivan, Johan, etc.) This is a fun fact. He wasn't "Jonathan the Baptist" ya know. David's best bud wasn't John. Speaking of the Bible, David's love interest was Jonathan but he named his son Nathan. 'יְהוֹנָתָן' (ye-hon-a-ton) vs 'נתן' (na-tan). I assume Jonathan and John are alike with via 'YHWH' and Jonathan and Nathan are alike through that last syllable meaning 'to give'. So if Jonathan was given by God, John is an embodiment of God's grace, meanwhile Nathan was just 'given' -- presumably still by God. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
