Javy has the benefit of a much better club and competing “problems” among WarBear, Addy and Jake – so perhaps he would have been buried in negative press (and taeks) were this another era, but unlike Castro – Javy’s ability to improve – while not nearly as amazing in jumps his first two years – have me on Joe’s “superstar” bandwagon.

Javy seems to truly thrive on emotion and I’m hoping the WS and WBC hangovers account for the bad start.
