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.

Yeah, sure, why not. Won't hurt to have 5 outfielders capable of starting.

Outfield is complete.

 

Thanks for playing.

for those of you who dont have a heart (myself included)... eat peepee and go to hells (t)elevators!

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!

Drink today i take it?

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.

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.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Players on the move?

what if we moved everett along with lee to the braves?

Last year Jones made sense. Right now, absolutely zero. I would puke at the acquisition. JMO.
