I really liked Jaso, I thought he was the best catcher the Ms had last season. It is time for Montero to step up I guess.

Salk sums it up nicely.
People are vastly overrating Jaso. Not saying this is a good deal or even a deal the M's win, but it's not some landslide loss, in fact, I think the M's very well could come out ahead. Time will tell.

I don't like this move. We are even thinner at catcher now, gave up a young talented player for an older, more injured, more expensive player with a shorter contract. This is the move Jack Z has avoided over the last couple years.
Bringing in Morse and Ibanez just smells like panic and short sightedness. we were relatively lucky to escape the Upton trade, but we could have traded Franklin, or gone after Bourn.
I've defended the Ms a lot here but not this time. Don't like this move

Jaso could have been an everyday guy, but for some dumb reason, Wedge refused to play him.

Jaso's splits are horrible and his defense sucks.
If you consider them both average at best on defense, then Morse is more valuable because of offense. That may seem short-sighted, but if you take into account that Morse and Jaso both project to +1.5 WAR next year(according to the all-mighty Dave "I have hated Morse for years" Cameron), then I will take the better offensive player with better splits and equal defense.
Yes, I have read the Cameron article, and he makes a less than admirable case for his stance against the trade. He presented evidence at the beginning of his article that compared the two players and they were close with Morse being the better offensive player. After that, he interjected his personal, and biased, opinion.
