They were pretty sloppy last year with him there.
Also not sure what a coach does to change things. Butterfield likely doesn't teach much to JPA. Guys shouldn't need a coach to tell them not to throw it halfway up the 3rd baseline, try to throw out guys at home on a single to the OF, to ignore/miss the cut-off man etc.
Lawrie is always going to be way too jacked up and make poor throws, Bautista always thinks he can throw anyone out without caring about where his throw goes, JPA is a poor defensive catcher, Bonafacio should not be playing 2nd base at all. That is players issues not coaching.
