Although his Avg, Strikeouts, OBP, SLG, OPS are mediocore, he's not as bad as you say he is. I could see him bringing in some sort of return..

Although his important numbers are terrible, at least he puts up great counting stats! JPA hits homers. That's about all he does productive offensively. Hitting homers gives him a reasonable amount of RBIs and makes his ancient triple slash line look good for 2/3 of it.
Unfortunately most MLB GMs dig a little deeper than AVG/HR/RBI and can see the same flaws he's had his whole career (and by that I mean the minors as well). He's never been a good defensive catcher. He's never been a good contact hitter. He's never had a good approach at the plate. He has the great power, but he needs one of those other 3 tools to be considered a valuable asset at catcher.
