No Future for A.Jones for '08

[DravenX]

The Braves won't make a bid to re-sign Andruw Jones, GM John Schuerholz said Tuesday.
A surprise that they'd make an announcement like this. The Braves are almost certain to go buy a center fielder, though with Jordan Schafer a possibility to take over as a regular in 2009 and 2010, they may look to do a short-term deal. Mike Cameron would be ideal. Corey Patterson could also be an option. A trade is a long shot, but they could look into acquiring Coco Crisp from the Red Sox.

Well, I'm not surprised but at least I could hope he would of stayed.

It will be weird seeing him in another uniform but he time was up in Atlanta. I just hope he doesn't come to SF.

[BuckFoston]

Your right Reefer it is going to be weird seeing him in a different uniform. Its kind of like picture Bonds in a different uniform or Derek Jeter in a different uniform, you just can't.

[brewersfan19]

I really can't imagine him in another uniform either.


hhhmmmm.. do I smell the Yankees opening up their wallets again?

If the Yankees happen to sign Jones, it would not bother me though. To be honest, that is actually one team that I think A. Jones would fit in nicely.


I wonder where he will end up? Curious minds want to know.

[BuckFoston]

It would be a good fit for him seeing as how Damon is starting to get old and washed up but he can't leadoff and I don't think Jeter wants to do that so I don't know.

Good luck, Andruw.

[love_that_reefer]

Jones is a LFer now IMO. He has gained so much weight and lost a lot of range. I think he is suited for a corner outfield spot.

[General]

Jones leading off would be the single stupidest thing the Yanks have done since playing Knoblauch in the field.

[BuckFoston]

I know but I'm just saying thats probably why the Yankees won't sign him. I'm not saying that that is what the Yankees should do.
