A layup.
Coop, I mean Walk will fix him.
Happy Thanksgiving , everyone.
one man's opinion of jones
Andruw Jones: An early-season surge led into a second-half fade. Jones didn’t hit a homer after July 29 and batted .160/.274/.210 in that time, striking out in nearly a third of his at-bats. Jones has now batted .207/.304/.393 over three seasons and more than 1200 PAs. I’m utterly astounded to say this about a player who at 29 looked like he might hit 700 home runs, but I think Jones is done, and I would not sign him.

but for 500k at base salary?
That’s like, less than they paid Wise

If this is our solution for starting DH I will be surprised.
If starting corner outfielder I will be even more surprised. Seems like Andruw would be best suited as a reserve

that's the plan, apparently
seems to me that there will be a 6 man bullpen

I'm surprised Jones would agree to be a bench player

In the trib writeup, KW explictly calls him a reserve
I guess it’s OK to hope for magic, but I agree with BP. Jones looks like he’s done.
I would worry that Ozzie is going to play Jones and Vizquel way too much, if I were the worrying type.
