December 21, 200520 yr hahahahahahaha Ouch. Around 5.33 MIL/YR for Jacque? Yuck Edited December 21, 200520 yr by WHarris1
December 21, 200520 yr He's utterly useless against Left handers. Is he any better of an option than Burnitz? I wouldn't think so.
December 21, 200520 yr Does anyone else find it hilarious that they have a Jacques and a Pierre in the outfield?
December 21, 200520 yr So Hendry had all offseason to find the perfect RF, and he locks up J. Jones to a 3 yr deal? He'll be great on days the wind's blowing out, and he'll be worthless when it's blowing in.
December 21, 200520 yr The funniest thing about this deal is that a ton of people predicted this almost a year ago.

December 21, 200520 yr It's tough for Hendry to assemble a team when there aren't clubs willing to accept his "talent' in return for quality players seeking high salaries. Pittsburgh must have disconnected their phone line this offseason.
December 21, 200520 yr I've always thought Jones was kind of a peckerhead. Combine that with the fact that he isn't very good and he'll fit right in with the northsiders.

December 21, 200520 yr As a Cardinal fan in the NL I was bracing myself for having to root for a hated Twin in Jones. Looks like I won't have to go that route now
December 21, 200520 yr 3 years huh. Cud fans are already pissed off because,they think they were going to get C.Lee next year. When you see moves like this it makes you appreicate KW!!

They're basically bringing Burnitz back. Another player who strikes out a lot, and sucks against LHPs. In other news, we only have to face him 6 times instead of 19.
December 21, 200520 yr LMAO.. I know alot of Cubs fans that are pissed right now, I just gloat and tell them the Hendry is a great GM.. not to worry they have 4th place locked up this year.
December 21, 200520 yr QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Does anyone else find it hilarious that they have a Jacques and a Pierre in the outfield? "Boycott the Cubs!"
December 21, 200520 yr Cubs to sign J.Jones for 3 yr ...16 mil show how desperate they really are! :headshake
December 21, 200520 yr it's a perfect signing for the Cubs, he'll hit 20-25 homeruns to excite the Cubs fans, and make some flashy plays for the highlight reel. I know someone mentioned that Cubs fans thought C. Lee was coming, I always like to think of the lineup the Cubs fans thought they would have when players are asked questions when they come to town, I can think of: C- I-Rod 2b- Soriano SS- Furcal/Tejada (Cubs fans thought Tejada was here and no chance of him going anywhere else CF- Damon/Beltran I mean it's crazy.
December 21, 200520 yr The Indians get the Cubs' 2nd round pick for Howry. The Giants get the Cubs' 3rd round pick for Eyre. The Twins get the Cubs' 4th round pick for Jones. Jesus.

The Cubs have been surrendering for years. Now, they are relecting that by acquiring outfielders whose names scream "France". Too bad Frenchie Fuqua played football.

December 21, 200520 yr Fish Food!!?? That's it!!?? That's your ace in the hole!!?? Whatever credibility Hendry had lingering from his previous moves is all but packed up and left. This signing is just pathetic.
December 21, 200520 yr With the kind of payroll that the Cubs have, you’d think they would make better signings. Just give Kenny Williams and Co. that money and they will at least put a winning team on the field that will go to the playoffs for years to come.
