Can this guy catch well enough to be my starter? Obviously his bat is a huge plus. I was planning on playing him at DH (after a short stint at AAA), but my current DH is raking and my current catcher is batting about .200, so if I can play Jones at C, that's would be a big boon.

Yes.  His bat is good enough to carry his glove (and then some).

60 PC is about my cutoff on a catcher, providing his bat is good enough.  This guy's is.

Ideally I look first for a high PC in a catcher (prefer 80+), then durability (prefer 75+).  After that, those numbers can come down a little providing his offensive ratings are correspondingly rising.

I traded this guy for him and also got 2 decent relievers that cost $2mm total

I'm starting this guy in one of my worlds.  His bat - I'm hoping - will more than make up for his poor PC.  So far, he's hitting exactly as expected and has been a bit better than expected defensively.  Of course if I was in the AL, he'd be my DH, end of discussion.  Anybody else have any luck starting someone like this?
