But he learned his lesson: it has never been a problem since then. Year in and year out, Jones plays 150+ games a year in CF, playing hurt with minor injuries caused by the fact that he is constantly busting himself all over the place to catch balls.<BR/><BR/>At the plate, he doesn't always run out ground balls, which I don't like, but that's a problem with 98% of Major League players, and hardly something for which he should be singled out (he does it no more than anyone else).<BR/><BR/>2) As far as the "don't mind losing" attitude, Jones, along with Chipper and Smoltz, is one of the only Braves who remembers what it's like to play for a perennial winner.<BR/><BR/>On top of that, he's always one of the most vocal and outspoken critics of the Braves when they're not winning.<BR/><BR/>3) At the end of the day, despite a poor season, Andruw is an above average (though incredibly frustrating) hitter who also happens to be one of the top 2-3 outfielders to ever play the game.<BR/><BR/>John Smoltz, among many others, considers him to be the best ever. Period.<BR/><BR/>With today's market being what it is, paying such a player $15 a year is not a bargain, but it's not far-fetched either.<BR/><BR/>4) Despite all of these facts, you ultimately will get your way, and I won't get mine.<BR/><BR/>The Braves announced that AJ won't be in their future plans.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to go put on some black clothes and eat some junk food.Luke Dockeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535787107819333194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-92118757542726209082007-10-01T21:40:00.000-05:002007-10-01T21:40:00.000-05:00RESIGN ANDRUW??!!!
