So far in 2012, Jason Bay has not be the complete disaster many of the fans and media members think he has become. Don't get me wrong, Bay isn't having a stellar start to the season either. He isn't making people believe that he will finally earn his $16 million contract.
He is still batting under .200 on the season and strikes out almost 40% of the time. But signs are there. He's collected a hit in each of the past three games and two of them have been home runs. Potentially more important, until that bat ever turns it around fully, is Bay's defense. That was a question mark about him at the time of the signed contract, due to bad knees and a bad shoulder. But the defense has always been a strong suit for Bay in New York. His latest display was an over the wall, home run saving catch last night in Atlanta.
