Either way, I'm glad to see Jansen do something at the plate again. He's probably the long term starter, but he has to start showing something to indicate he can handle that role. Over his last 7 games Jansen has an OPS% of 1.172. I don't expect him to stay there, but that's a big difference compared to what he's been doing most of the year.

I'm very happy Jansen is showing some life at the plate; I want him to start improving behind the dish though, that is where he is supposed to be best but too many balls are getting by him and he's not calling games well IMO.
I would love to see Toronto bring back Russell Martin in coaching/mentor role for the catchers, in addition to having the BP Catcher in Andreopoulos. I think he would do wonders for Jansen, McGuire, Kirk and Moreno. Heck, even Ernie Whitt might be a good guy to come in and work with them.
