I find it funny that I am reading that Soxtalk is now drinking the Kool-Aid since we passed on Damon. Three days ago we were screwed without Damon, now he's on the Tigers so Jones will be Comeback Player of the Year.
I find it hard not to be optimistic about a guy with so much potential. Same with Rios. Yes Rios had a pretty much awful year all of last year, but you know what kind a special player that he can be, especially in CF. Jones just needs to stay healthy, and with him in shape I don't see that being much of an issue. If we can get Joe Crede numbers out of him, and have him get hits in crucial situations, he'll be successful.
