Pedey - I hope he comes back ... but I think he might have reached the end.
I searched 2009-2017 OF'ers with 250+ PAs (about half of the PAs needed to qualify. There were these many players having seasons with these OPS or lower:

40 below .600

100 below .640

140 below .640

.200 below .675


How about 350+ PAs?

25 below .620

60 below .655

104 below .675

I'd say yes, teams have given many OF'ers longer chances than JBJ, and my guess is many aren't GG caliber. Then again, JBJ has had several long bad stretches over his career.
