CSF Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Players on the move? 8. Andruw Jones You may not have noticed if you haven't paid close attention. But Jones has slid from the Michael Jordan of defensive center fielders to merely the Vince Carter of this crowd. He's still fun to watch. He can still crash the Web Gem reel. He can still turn doubles into F-8's. But Jones has slipped. He ran down 100 fewer balls this season than he did five years ago. The Braves haven't always been happy with his work habits. And just when you thought he was making progress offensively, he set a career high in strikeouts (147). But Jones' most critical number is 39 million -- the number of dollars left on his contract (over three years). He's about the only big-ticket item the Braves could move. So they have talked to the White Sox and Orioles. And if a deal gets huge enough, they might just pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah, sure, why not. Won't hurt to have 5 outfielders capable of starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think this article was peiced together before we signed Dye. After a Paul Konerko trade that brings us Vasquez, maybe Dye can play first, Rowand can play right and Jones can play center? Man, that was easy. I should be the f***ing GM!

AnthraxFan93 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Well If we could get Jones move Lee and get a SP I am all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Well If we could get Jones move Lee and get a SP I am all for it. Unless we trade Konerko for Vazquez, there's no way we'd be able to sign a FA SP since we'd be taking on more salary in Jones' contract than of Lee's.

Cali Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 A's GM Billy Beane has been telling people he's feeling "creative" lately. And you know what that means: A seven-team trade involving 28 players could be happening any minute now. :lol: This actually made me laugh out loud, which I don't do often at ESPN articles, unless thery're on Page 2.

Chisoxfn Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Last year Jones made sense. Right now, absolutely zero. I would puke at the acquisition. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
